Dijon

This past weekend Diana and I went to Dijon for her 21st birthday. The city is tiny but packed with culture. I guess you could say that for all of Europe, but it's one of the many things that I love. There were a bunch of churches and adorable boutiques and lots of museums. I wasn't expecting to find Dijon so adorable. Diana and I found a little cafe / restaurant with amazing food (not surprising, but always a happy occurrence). I had the tartiflette bourgognonne (no idea how to spell that). It was delicious, but strange. Tartiflette is a traditional French dish with potatoes, CHEESE CHEESE CHEESE, and usually pork. What I didn't know when ordering, though, was that the bourgognonne part would be esgarcot. Good thing I like esgarcot! Like I said, delicious, but heavy. My first thought when eating them was "this is the most delicious mushroom I've ever tasted." Ha. Somehow even after all that I couldn't help but order the tarte aux pommes (apple tart). Which was obviously also amazing.



Other than that, we mostly just walked around and enjoyed the city. And of course bought mustard!

Best smell ever.
