''The Desert's Most Exciting City''

I know I've been absolutely hopeless lately when it comes to updating my blog. To be frank, I really would love to share more of my daily life, thoughts and news at the café; not that I have a particularly exhilarating life but anyway…
I am struggling to find time to do so. I used to be able to squeeze 3-5 minutes every now and then at work and by the end of the day I’d composed a post but now I don’t even have 30 seconds to take papers to the recycling bin! Okay, it’s a bit exaggerated but that’s how mad, or should I say eventful it can be at work these days.

I am off to Dubai tomorrow evening for a long weekend! I promise I will update my café upon my return!

Have a great weekend, amigos!

I am Back

I am now back and I apologise for not updating my blog for a while and I was so busy and got completely wasted the day before I left that I didn't even put up a notice (as if there are any customers, but still...) that the cafe would be closed while I was away.

I promise I will upload photos and update my trip as soon as I have time.

Paris

The weekend in Paris was good, thanks to dearest Mami and Jose. We stuffed ourselves with delicious crêpes and absolutely scrumptious, mouth-watering baguettes and pain au chocolat! At the end, we almost felt relieved that we didn’t actually live in Paris or we would probably swell up and infatuated with bakeries.

We went to Centre Pompidou on Friday evening and had dinner at a lovely bistro near by. The baked snails in parsley butter were to die for! The mains were delectable – roasted lambs, roasted ducks and grilled swordfish.

Saturday was a calorie-burning day. We walked around the city and ended the day with another tasty meal, courtesy of our dearest friends. It was really fun to have the Raclette Grill, melting various cheese and vegetables and other interesting tapas – all washed down with glasses of white….

All in all, we were delighted that we had the weekend like the locals and also got to spend time with friends.

Thank you Mami and Jose and be afriad...be very afriad...because WE WILL BE BACK!
