Paris was indeed expensive. First it is expensive like all big cities are expensive but the weak dollar is just making it worse. I have been telling everyone here about eating a $10 falafel. It was admittedly a good falafel - with a crunchy cole-slawy filling but falafel here is the cheapest take-away food there is (okay maybe $10 sandwiches are the cheapest take-away meal in Paris too). Falafel is considered so ordinary that our falafel stand closes during the month of Ramadan (just 3 weeks away) because in that month of fasting and then feasting - only special and favorite foods are eaten (and falafel isn't special). I think Dan and I can get two sandwiches for $.75.

and don't forget the 27 euro rotisserie chickens! But the trip was worth every penny!
