I’m back and trying to catch up with your posts!<BR/>Shakespeare & Co. is a great place, but Isabella said it all about English language bookstores in Paris. As for Lisbon, I used to go to Buchholz and now I go to FNAC, though I still visit many other smaller bookstores...<BR/>There is a guy with a camera reflected; he must be you... ;)<BR/>Falafel sandwich? OK! But I would better have some prawn and aspargus risotto... ;)<BR/>The yellow picture looks great but coin fountains don't do my day...

I do enjoy a little stroll downstairs when I really crave something. Upstairs (street level) is very touristy and poorly presented. They also have very few French magazines - you can actually find more at Hudson News in Grand Central!<BR/>One of my favorite bookstores was on 42nd just in front of Bryant Park. I am so sad it disappeared.• Eliane •https://www.blogger.com/profile/17535070160739138725noreply@blogger.com
