Christmas Eve

We spent some of the day shopping.  Our gift to each other was a deluxe hand blender and food processor attachment. A stop at a gourmet shop enticed us to buy some good quality olives and cheeses as we lingered over the great selection of French wines.  We picked up a bottle of bubbly for our visit tomorrow to Colin's place. For the evening we had reservations at KOTO.  Duck Confit was our choice - excellent.

Our table and a view of the traffic below.  It was busier than usual on the roads and many folks and kids were dressed in Santa suits.  Kind of cute.

A sample of street traffic that you need to cross to get to the other side - just step into it and keep walking and the scooters just go around you!!  We also picked up a Yule log  for dessert and after coming home we enjoyed a glass of Scotch and the delicious chocolate/raspberry log.

The evening ended with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
