Why would I deprive myself of 2 of my favorite food and drink items? Because Paris greeted me with the stomach flu my second night here! Yes, it settled in the night of January 1 (after striking Jonathan first), and I was in bed until this afternoon when I finally started feeling human again. But I know I’m not back to myself for 2 reasons: 1) the thought of coffee or butter sounds horrific right now and 2) the only things that appeal to me and my stomach are crackers and a few pieces of baguette.

So no ketogenic diet for me today but I hope by tomorrow I’ll be back on track with my regular way of eating, and in shape to do some sightseeing.  The apartment we are in is nice, but after being in it for nearly 48 hours straight I must say I’m tiring of it.

I’m off to bed so I can be ready to face the (very cold) city of Paris tomorrow!
