I've put these together, because day 4 was spent much like day three, and well to be honest nothing exciting happened. Friday was day 5, and I met up with Jessica and once again we went walking, in a new area, St-Germain. I wanted to check out the famous Cafe les Deux Magots, where Hemingway spent his time while in Paris. It was a great meal, our first Croque Monsieur au Poulet (chicken) It was tasty! My ancient style hot chocolate was so far the best I've had here in Paris (Tel Aviv's Max Brenner Chocolates was better). Walked in and around the Notre Dame cathedral. It was in procession as we walked inside, the detail given to each stone, each window frame and statue is so intricate and amazing, not to mention the romantic history of Quasimodo and the French Revolution. If you ever get the chance to see the musical, Notre Dame de Paris, I strongly advise you to see it. Unlike musicals like Phantom and Cats, there's no talking bits, it's all singing, and the acrobatics rivaled those of Cirque de Soleil.
Then we walked towards the Centre George Pompidou and saw the outdoor Stravinsky fountain, featured in the 1995 remake of Sabrina (Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond).
