After running around like crazy yesterday, I needed a little bit slower day today, but it still ended up being quite busy. Woke up early and went over to the storage space, that Linda, our secretary, has rented for the Fractional. It is about a10 minute walk around the corner. Noticed that the Synagogue about 2 buildings up from us was guarded by 4 serious looking soldiers with Automatic rifles. Later in the day the road would be blocked to cars. Multiple Airports in France got bomb threats today so they were closed. After making sure I could get into our storage unit and storing my walking poles, grabbed a bus over to the Orsay where there is an interesting Van Gogh exhibit. With my membership card, I skipped the line and was right in at 9:15am. Unfortunately they apparently let some guides and tour groups in so there were multiple clusters of people with talky guides, oh well. Great collection of paintings. After a quick run through of that, back on the bus to the Rodin museum for a walk through the garden. They had some truly disturbing exhibit of bodies suspended from the ceiling. Still not sure what that was about. After that walked over to Rue Cler to see if I’d bump in to Rick Steves. Then another bus ride to Montparnasse, where the Relais de L’entercote actually didn’t have a line. This restaurant only does one steak and fries and a salad and that’s it. It was good and they bring you seconds whether you ask for them or not! After that back home to regroup and then to Le Hibou by Odeon to meet up with some people. LM from HNL came by to say hi, and some of us ended up next door at Breizh for a pastrami Galette. Raining all afternoon, but fairly warm.






















I enjoy your updates, and those Van Goghs are stunning. Pat
