Italian dinner

Strange as it seems, I have had almost no French meals here. Chinese, Italian, Thai, Lebanese - and what I've picked up at the grocery store. Tonight we had a good Italian meal in Pont de Nuelly which is right across the river from Le Defense. The area has a number of nice little restaurants - I've eaten there 3 times in a week and a half and every meal has been excellent. That's an olive pate' Jay is eating with a "new wine".

Evening meal time really gets rolling at about 8:00pm. Jay and I went early at 7 and were the only ones in the restaurant. By the time we left at 8:15, it was close to full. Some of our colleagues couldn't get into this place until after 9pm last week. We have not quite adjusted to the late lifestyle. I still awake at about 6:00am even when having dinner at 9 the previous night. I would like to get into the later style since I end up working until about 6pm no matter when I start. And no one eats lunch until at least 1pm.
