We have been here for 10 days and just getting over jet lag and the fatigue from traveling. that’s what aging does- everything takes longer.
We have been out a bit- lunch with friends and enjoying the mild spring weather. We’ve had sunny pleasingly cool days which make being outdoors extremely pleasant.
The usual routine of going to museum exhibitions will be curtailed this time though we are schedule for one next week. (More about that next week)
We spent a little time in the St. Germaine area yesterday which was packed with people. I couldn’t tell if this was a mostly tourist crowd or not but it seemed most were not.
We had lunch in a favorite fish restaurant- Georgettes- on rue de Seine. It’s a fun place where the food is excellent, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere convivial.
And here is another kind of dessert which I love- café gourmand. This is a little espresso (on the right) and three samples of this restaurants desserts- chocolate mouse, rice pudding with caramel sauce, and custard with cassis sauce. Yum!!

I love this- thank you so much for sharing your experience! It has been cool and windy, raining every couple of days- grass is beginning to green up, daffodils beginning to appear, yards on Tonset sprouting their purple crocuses. Male osprey on Bufflehead has returned; someone said they saw one on the Eversource-attempt nest at upper Freeman- it will be interesting to see how that situation plays out. Joan

So happy to read your post auntie and see these photos of you guys – you both look so happy to be back in your truly happy place. The food looks incredible as always, and the sights as well. I wonder why that place isn’t so popular for their bread anymore?
Europe is incredible when it comes to their “obviously you can’t do that” or “obviously you’ll get hurt here” policies as you clearly saw at the construction site. I remember the first time I went to a race track in Germany, the Nürburgring, which is technically a toll road that you can buy a ticket for and go on a drive around it while they don’t have official races going on. I bought the ticket, scanned it in, and drove on what is considered the most dangerous track in the world. After the session I asked some officials around why I didn’t need to sign a contract? Or what if I got hurt? Or what if someone sued? The response: in Germany the government figures if you pay to go on a race track, you know what could happen. If you don’t, that’s on you. To this day you can still pay around 27 euros and as if walking into a movie theatre, only with your car, drive on that track with no speed limit and do whatever you want.
That is Europe for you!
I love you!!! Give uncle and a big hug! Have a blast you two 😃😃❤️❤️

Interesting. Yes. That is Europe. You are responsible for yourself. The shop sells sandwiches. I don’t think people know they can buy just the bread. Bu o knew!!
How dreamy and delicious it all is!! ♥️
