A Last Taste of Summer

Notre Dame, viewed from the side.
I just couldn't wait and ate my lunch on
a bench on a bridge over the seine
with this view.
Not bad, huh? 



the famous berthillon ice cream.
Flavors:
passion fruit- tangy and full of bite with a slightly bittersweet aftertaste
pear- soft and smooth, delicate fruit flavor
salted butter caramel- creamy, smallest hint of bitter followed by sweet, salty caramel
while I was eating this, I was trying to name all of the 5 types of tastes,
since I was pretty sure that they were all in this little treat.
I got bitter, sweet, salty, sour and.....
I took at least seven or eight minutes trying to remember the 5th.
I finally gave up and realized that it must not be very important,
since it wasn't in my ice cream.
It finally came to me: SPICY
eh. figures.
France is no fan of the spice
