(17,736 posts)... us in NYC (for his UN WHO job) went to a French leaning restaurant, and I had a croque madam.
But then even better(!!!!!) (really)...
My aunt who was a artist, and a Master wood carver & print maker invited me to their (& my uncle's) home to make art w her in Sept 2016 for 3 weeks!!!!! 😮🥹 Never been to Europe.
Her in house art studio was big, amazing, and beautiful. Now, I asked I think in an e-mail could I - being they were very close to rhe French border- could I take a train to Paris, and return waaay later that night.
No.
But instead, she took me, and one granddaughter (my cousin) to Paris for 4 days/3 nights!!!
What a *gift*! I'd wanted to visit Paris for decades.
Anyway, we took the train. When we arrived at the fabulous looking train station we had lunch there.
And I had a croque monsieur in Paris France as my first meal! 😄🥰👍
(and it was an incredible trip - both parts)
