5-13-07 PARIS, FRANCE: We did Sunday in the park with the Parisians and the other tourists. First we went to the Jardin du Luxembourg, then Notre Dame, then Ile St. Louis, then the Jardin des Plantes. We made two stops, one for le petit dejeune and later for une biere. The day started out sunny and warm and then there was a short thunderstorm. This is such a beautiful and user friendly city. It is surprising to us to see so many smokers, but there were a lot of joggers. Also lots of couples, lots of parents with kids, lots of café activity, lots of small-to-tiny dogs, lots of motorbikes, women with bike helmets and heels, everybody wears jeans, some of the jeans look great.
Tonight we heard Chopin piano pieces performed by Miho Nitta at the oldest church in Paris, self proclaimed, Eglise St-Julien-le-Paurve. It is a tiny church in the shadow of Notre Dame. We barely found it in time for the show. Then dinner, then dessert now packing for the trip to EWR.
