Café Allongé

 
The literal translation of café allongé is "elongated coffee"; a café order made by anyone who prefers a softer kick and thus, their espresso watered down a bit. 

For today, café allongé refers to extending our Paris café sitting with one more stop - extending the visit that began at lunch yesterday.  I just wasn't ready to leave yet.  How about you? 

Grab a good book.  Let's find a table near this Woody Allen-looking fellow and enjoy the rest of the day right here.

Ciao,
leslie

Ohhhh....i could Paris cafe sit all day.....everyday...(give you a little hint into my personality?)......so nice to wake up and hit the bookmark for your blog....and there's no "and she's off"......you are my sanity (wow that's a huge responsibility, huh?).... until i return to Aix

Kris, café sitting is always 'perfect'...no matter where.

donna, me too...(see above!) thanks for the sweet words...'sanity'! whoa, grasshopper...that's a mighty tall order! ;} you're on your own for that one...but I'm quite pleased to bring you closer to Aix and Paris and that lovely shared dream that is France.

Nice to share a chat at the café with you two today...and a petit bonjour to all the others who stopped in for spell - perhaps to read...perhaps to people-watch. Lovely to see you all.

Ciao,
leslie

ok....i over exaggerate occasionally ; ) you're just PART of my sanity.......see........now that feels better doesn't it!

donna, hah! made me laugh! as one who is occasionally prone to go for dramatic effect, i recognized the style. ;} more than happy to be any part of anything close to sanity...not to mention a day-opener across the pond!

bonne nuit à tous!
