We leave in a few days – the suitcases are open and I’ve already started filling. That said- we still have some nice plans in the next two days including dinner tomorrow night at the Ferrandi Paris cooking school. I’ll let you know how it was but later.

Right now there are some things I’ve left out which I want to show you and there was, of course, today’s activity.

A few weeks ago we went to Hugguette- the fish restaurant with that great Pavlova dessert. Well- dinner had a vegetable that I’d never seen. Ii looked it up and turns out it is a variety of asparagus from the woods or asperge des bois.

And just so I don’t forget — here is a version of pavlova made by a friend- a meringue is topped with whipped cream and berries.

There were a few photos I didn’t send of Calder’s works which I want to add here. His circus scenes especially which were delicate and charming and totally fun.

Today we did a wine tasting at a place I noticed while walking in our neighborhood on our last trip. I passed a door and on it was written “Secret Wine Door”. I googled it and discovered it was a wine tasting venue conducted in English. So – I made a reservation last week for 12:00 noon today.
