Musique Dans le Parc


A lovely afternoon on a bench at the Place des Vosges.  Others read while he played his music. Looking back, I wish I'd put down my camera and taken a seat nearby and enjoyed it as well. Lesson learned.

BLOG UPDATE:
Tuesday morning found us moving slowly. Our wine and cheese party lasted until 3:30am and we loved every minute.  About 12 friends came, many who had never met each other before but you would never have known it! Much laughter and more than a little wine!  Peter joined us and we struck out for Passy cemetery near la Tour Eiffel. A beautiful small cemetery  with many photo ops. The sun came out and made it more so.  A quick trip to Trocadero and the obligatory shots of us and la Tour followed.  We walked a few blocks and had lunch and a quick trip through the Yves St. Laurent Foundation exhibit by David Hockney. He has created art by using his touch screen on iPads and iPhones.  Amazing. Mary left us about 3 and headed to Montmartre to meet a friend and Peter and I zipped off to the Marais. I did some shopping and we took some photos along the way. At 5 we met photographer Carla Coulson and Jean-Luc Rollier at a nearby cafe. We had a wonderful time getting to know each other and of course talking photography! At 7:30 we met CDP blogger Laurent  ( Daily Photo in Paris) and Mary for a nice dinner and a little champagne. Merci Peter.  We ended another grand day in Paris at the Hotel de Ville metro.  Today we leave our fabulous apt. for a hotel for our last day in Paris. Our flight to Cininnati is looking good. My flight to Bham is iffy. C'est la vie.

Virginia are you going home already? What a short trip, it seems to me you arrived yesterday. Next time you come, will you let me know ahead of time? Perhaps I can take the train to Paris and join you!

Surely, you can't be leaving already!? You just got there.
