France 2009 - Hot Liqiud Chocolate Bar!

Woke up around 9ish and decided to go to Angelina’s for Hot Chocolate. We arrived at the Louvre stop, I used the GPS to locate the restaurant. The unit was acting a bit weird. It sent us walking in the wrong direction. I eventual turned it off and we walked to the place unassisted. The place was fancy looking inside. We were seated toward the back in a cozy corner. We ordered the 17€ plate which included the hot chocolate, and three pastries and a roll. The hot chocolate was totally amazing! It was literally drinking a melted chocolate bar. After we got our chocolate fix for the year, we jumped on the Metro and headed to the Green Hop-on Hop-off tour bus. We got on at the Bastille stop. We had to sit on the open top because no seats were available in the bus. It was very cold and I did not dress for outside weather. The tour was the Blue line, which runs mostly by the water. The tour was over in about 90 minutes. Tracy and I saw the Mexican restaurant that we saw a few days ago. We walked over to it but in was closed due to a New Years Eve party tonight. We went next door to a restaurant called Chez Papa. It was not Mexican but the food was very good. I had the beef casserole and Tracy had the steak and blue cheese. They severed a wine and cognac drink, it was real good. We headed home and rested for the afternoon, still had not decided what to do for tonight. We watched a movie in the room, State of Play, a good movie. I had put out the good bottle of Champaign (yellow label Mumm) on the windowsill to chill. Around 11PM, Tracy wanted to pop the Champaign pop! It was excellent. What a way to ring in the New Year.
