The first time I visited Paris, I travelled alone and packed everything inside my old college backpack. Because I am from Liliput, I made my clothes fit neatly inside, but on the way back home to Seattle, I had to put on so many layers: I wore about 2 tank tops, 4 t-shirts, 3 sweaters and two pants to make room in my backpack to transport new clothes and souvenirs that included this coveted menu from L'Escargot, one of the fine restaurants that I was able to enjoy. This menu is now proudly framed at Lady Lam to remind me and others that life is beautiful, particularly in Paris, at L'Escargot.
