Bon Jour de Macaron!

Gerard Mulot

Need I say more?

For the Love!

This should clear up the question as to how I managed to walk "Peter's Paris Marathon" for most of the summer and didn't waste away to nothing! ( Didn't even come close, grrrrr) Window displays like this one at Gerard Mulot, might give you a clue. Oh what's a girl to do?

We Like Paris When It Drizzles......

but we don't LOVE it! Enough is enough. It's hard to carry shopping bags, cameras etc. AND an umbrella. Time for some sunshine. The last two days my friend Mary from Cincinnati has been here, and we've covered some territory. She is a Paris Pro and has walked our feet off. Yesterday she and I ran a marathon as I shared on yesterday's post. Today Melissa and the kiddos joined us and we schlepped around in the rain and did a little more shopping. I regret that the planned blogger meeting didn't materialize. Chalk that up to good intentions and bad phones. Alice , maybe we'll see each other before I leave France!!

Today, a sampling of what we've seen and done the last two days.

Antiques Faire in front of Eglise Saint-Suplice
Mary showed me her favorite site at Montparnasse Cemetery , in the rain of course.

A quick trip through the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation was a treat. It has a small exhibition of his work and currently a larger exhibiton of Jim Goldberg's work, but I had to make the pilgrimage!

A trip to Gerard Mulot for macarons was a delight. We made it out the door before we ate one on the street. Did you hear the groans of delight?? ( There were more in the sack but that's all that was left when I took this photo)
No outside dining today!
