Funny you should say that...tomorrow morning I'm going to buy two advance tickets - one to D'Orsay and the other to a museum called L'Orangerie which I think is fairly small and pretty much all about Monet. And I have four days to use the tickets so if it rains tomorrow, fine - I'll use at least one. And if it's nice I can opt for something more outside-ish (the Eiffel Tower, maybe?) Also, with the advance tickets you avoid the long lines (and I mean they're LONG!!!)Mary Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469508742745411315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-24448459913641760222012-05-21T17:45:02.488-04:002012-05-21T17:45:02.488-04:00Mary Lynne, you can be so happy with so many situa...Mary Lynne, you can be so happy with so many situations - even pouring rain works out for you. Looks like more rain on Tuesday - good day for the Musee d'Orsay. I've heard many like it more than the Louvre.Lisa in WVnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-15742137798407361402012-05-21T15:19:54.716-04:002012-05-21T15:19:54.716-04:00What fun!

All the talk about bread has made me hungry! Love the pics of the bridge. Drink a glass of wine and prop your feet up for a bit. How is the apartment? Take pics of it, too.

If you get a minute sometime send me a little e-mail letting me know how things are going with you. And the bread totally lives up to its reputation. :)<br /><br />And, Chris - I looked up Denis on Wikipedia and they did point out that according to the facts as presented, he would indeed be a cephalophore. I didn't look the word up but figured that was what it must mean. Strange to have a name for such a thing.<br /><br />The weather here is interesting and if I ever run out of things to run on about, I'll run on about that. I'm liking it but it is fairly mercurial - beautiful sunshine one minute, menacing clouds the next, drizzle every now and then (except today!)<br /><br />I am now going in search of a light evening repast (lots of rich eating the last few days) and a little glass of wine which I will try and nurse long enough to feel like a Parisian.<br /><br />xo to bothMary Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469508742745411315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-49186971969717883062012-05-21T11:36:51.712-04:002012-05-21T11:36:51.712-04:00What an ornate, historic city!

Can't wait to see more from your days ahead!<br />Glad to hear you had such a perfect time tooling around with Heather... the parfumerie (?) looks so beautiful and elegant. <br />And poor St. Denis gives a great obscure word to work into conversation---his headless depiction makes him a cephalophore. There's a word you don't hear every day (unless, of course, you listen to They Might Be Giants, who of course, wrote a song featuring that word!!)<br />The food you prepped sure does look tasty...!<br />Have fun! Glad you had beautiful weather while Heather was there---perhaps the rain will get out of Paris' system today (Monday) and you'll have more nice days ahead!Christophernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971046987114869505.post-17994586922157734502012-05-21T11:10:10.034-04:002012-05-21T11:10:10.034-04:00What an excellent Friday!

I haven't read through your older posts yet, but it's easy to see in the picture of you and Heather that you were a pretty happy mama to have some company! I'm so glad your trip is a good one, and that the bread seems to be living up to what we hear about it :)Januarynoreply@blogger.com
