…still- paris is Paris despite the very gloomy weather. A sunny day is predicted for tomorrow— we shall see. I’m going to go back in time and catch up with a few things I haven’t mentioned before. Photos will tell the story—-

When Jeanne was here we had our first lunch at our all time favorite restaurant. It is our favorite because it is reliable, service is always friendly and the soufflés are the best.

Above us George preparing to eat his pistachio soufflé topped with chocolate sauce. Unbelievably delicious.

A word about canes. Priority! A person with a cane receives priority along with whoever is with them. That means we don’t wait on any lines even for a taxi at a train station. The only place I’ve not been given preference is at the outdoor market where lines in front of certain vendors can be very long. Everyone must wait their turn- maybe that is because there are a lot of old ladies with white hair with canes out food shopping.

We went to the Marmottan – a museum housed in an old mansion which has the largest collection of Monets. What a delight- but some of the paintings I as hoping to see weren’t on exhibit.

And to add to our cultural experiences we attended a string quartet recital in our building hosted by a wonderful couple who do this to support the arts.

Beethoven and Mozart were performed for a very appreciative audience.

See you in a few days. I’ve stopped reading the US news. Maybe you have too. C
