The days continue to be sunny with a cool breezes that make being outside (or in) wonderful. Winter is definitely over. I wasn’t going to write today since yesterday we had a rare bad restaurant experience – mediocre food and awful service- at a place close by which we were hoping would become a regular haunt. But- no-it is crossed off the list, sadly. (Of course the day overall was a win-win politically speaking. I got up in the middle of the night to check the election results👏👏👏)

Thus we started out in a great mood and the day didn’t disappoint. We had tickets to the Musée du Luxembourg to see the Fernand Léger exhibit followed by lunch at Angelina’s; I just had to share the experience with you.

First, another wheelchair story. Our friends recommended I inquire about a wheelchair at the museum. I wrote an email as directed on the museum’s website making the inquiry and received a very polite email back informing me that a wheelchair was reserved as requested. I was instructed what to do upon arrival to get it. I did and the guard I approached brightened and asked me to wait while he got the wheelchair. All so easy.

There was a room dedicated to a playful aspect of his work- street scenes, circus, and music.

Art didn’t stop at the exit of the museum. Next door is a well-known cafe and lunch place- Angelina’s – most famous for their hot chocolate. You can imagine how surprised I was when the avocado toast I ordered arrived. A masterpiece in culinary art!

That’s a sliced avocado on a toast with chèvre, chopped red onion, tiny purple broccoli, radishes and hazelnuts. It was delicious.
