A wonderful Friday eating and drinking my way through Paris.

So some of you have already guessed it but, yes, I’m here in Paris to run Marathon Pour Tous | @marathon_pour_tous_community tonight. Bib number 6300 and you can track at https://paris-mpt.r.mikatiming.de/2024/?lang=EN_CAP&pid=tracking&pidp=tracking. No confirmation yet that you can hear me questioning my life choices as I tackle a 10% grade uphill.

Lunch at Maison | @maison_sota - which, at €85 for the Menu Dégustation - represents excellent value.

Women’s Beach Volleyball. Bronze and Gold Medal matches. Also, a spectacular view of the Tour Eiffel | @toureiffelofficielle.

A wonderful Thursday evening eating and drinking my way through Paris.

Athletics, Day 8. Lots of medals to be earned on this night.

The experience on AF11 with service from JFK to CDG onboard an Air France | @airfrance A359 in their latest business class cabin. I hadn’t planned on bougie on this trip but a 95-minute departure delay meant no chance at a nap upon arrival so lie-flat became worth the price of an upgrade.

The omakase at Tatsuda Omakase | @tatsudanyc was filling enough but just couldn’t resist adding a Big Mac (2/2).
