mirama

we had chinese food in my favorite "mirama" in the latin quarter (17 rue st jacques,75005.). authentic chinese restaurant with ducks hanging in the steamy window. am a big fan of the shrimp wonton soup with noodles. i found this restaurant when i moved to paris in '92 and had an apt nearby. when i first tasted the food i said that there was no reason to go home to new york anymore. everytime we come to paris, we go to mirama. the same waiters are there, only they look younger every year. must be the msg.
afterwards, we walked around the latin quarter which is now a crowded, touristy area with greek restaurants (should be called the "greek quarter").  visited "shakespeare and co", english bookstore with a history.  cool place to hang out and write.  will make a point of going back. we walked home, across town and the streets became more deserted. across the street, a drunk man was peeing facing the street. we blocked jj's view, but she was fully aware what was going on. the sound of water running... ahhh, city life.
