| Jim and his Bud |
Began the day with coffee and a baguette then met Jim and Darcy at the St. Michel bridge. We stared off walking to the Flower Market near Notre Dame and were disappointed to learn the adjacent Bird Market only opens on Sunday. The weather seemed pretty good so we decided on walking the two and a half miles up to Rue Cler. On the way we detoured over to the Rodin museum and walked the gardens. Only part of the gardens were available because they were setting up for some event. We thought it might be something to do with next week's fashion week. It didn't take long to walk the gardens before heading over to the Eiffel Tower. We stopped for a drink and a sandwich at a braisserie. Jim got a Budweiser...a nine dollar Budweiser at that. No one felt like going up the Eiffel Tower so we just walked under it and continued back down along the Seine to the Musee d' Orsay. We spent over an hour wandering around the museum - it wasn't very crowded. I think we missed some stuff, but I'm not sure what. We were getting tired and we all walked back to our apartment where we rested for awhile. It was another 10+ miles day. After a few refreshments, Jim and Darcy went back to their hotel by way of the Luxembourg Gardens.
In the evening it started to drizzle, so Sylvia and I went to dinner across the street to an Italian joint called Margherita. We didn't expect much but as usual we underestimated another Parisian restaurant. I had their Tartuffo, a large penne pasta with a cream and black truffle sauce, and Sylvia had the special of the day a braised pork over mixed vegetables - both better than good. We had a good chat with the couple seated next to us. They were from Miami, he was Puerto Rican and she was Mexican. It was a good conversation about so many topics. The night ended not as early as I would have liked.
Can you tell what's the difference between these two pictures?

Ok. I'll bite. They changed their clothes. In first pix she's smiling and he's not. In second, he's smiling and she's not. In first pix he's drinking wine. In second he's drinking a Bud. In first pix they are at different table. In pix no. 2 they are at the same table. Ok, I give up. What's the difference? Cause I'm pretty sure it's not that obvious.
Ten miles walking a day. Well, I love the food but I'm not real keen on the other aspects of the trip. Just saying'. . .
Love, Carol
I don't know if you're right or not? I've had too much wine. They kinda' look all blurred. Everything looks all blurred.
