This morning I headed out to Le Damier, a patisserie/cafe that is promised by the Lonely Planet to have successfully pulled off the Paris vibe. Wow! It is a hop, skip, and a jump from my hotel and it is a little slice of heaven. I had a croissant better than many of the croissants I had in France. And a cafe au lait that was just the best I've had in months and months. They had Euronews playing French news with some DNC Convention news. It was voiced over in French, but Obama and his wife still give me goose bumps. There were a bunch of men dressed up in very nice African outfits. I guess people are enjoying their last few daylight breakfasts before Ramadan starts. It's nice that Conakry has these wonderful places like Le Petit Bateau and Le Damier. If I had to live in Conakry, these places would make it easy. I will visit Le Damier every morning I'm here in Conakry. They have handmade chocolate, too.
