A quick note to say that watching your children push the boats around the fountain at Jardin du Luxembuorg is a real joy, a letting go of time and of expectations. As Rachel said, the boat goes where it wants to...
To set the scene, if you are not here, Paris weather has been stunning and it is all strangely accompanied by the empty skies. The tuplips are in full riot. By the way, who let that Tour Montparnasse be constructed? It really ruins the backdrop...oh btw that Sewanee things happened. Some college girls asked me directions at the Jardin, and turns out one of them is the daughter of a Sewanee graduate. She was with a group who had chartered a bus back from Madrid where they had been for a weekend trip. She was waiting to go take a train to Nantes. In all the conversation we forgot to introduce ourselves. Well, good luck college girls in Nantes!

I've known a couple of Sewanee grads who lived in Nantes! Still have some truly exceptional salt one of them brought me from Guerande.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth and I stayed near le Jardin. I love it there. On our first day, we walked around le jardin asking people how to get to le Seine. Apparently we have terrible accents and no one had a clue where we were talking about!
Well you may have heard, yesterday I thought I was ordering ice cream for the children and they ended up with hot chocolate. They now know how stupid I am!
ReplyDeleteTell me what you want from the store - I'm planning a trip to Bon Marche...confit? capers? not vinegar...
