things to learn from Paris #2
Its my third coffee shop of the day and I’ve overdosed on coffee so this time I ordered tea. Tea and a palmier. I sat down around 4:30 and by 4;45 the coffee shop was packed. Teatime, coffee time, snack time. There is no other time as busy as this. This is when the stores shut for a few hours and everyone takes a break before the evening rush. Very civilized.
Unlike coffee shops in Pittsburgh, mine is the only computer in sight. Parisians take their breaks seriously. And unlike coffee shops in Pittsburgh this one caters to everyone. The youngest person I see is 1 and the oldest is probably pushing 80.
