Final French Friday




Slept in. No breakfast to be missed in hotel so we went out to the cafes on the street... not many awake and operating at 10:30 am, but found one that could do coffee and tartines (bread and butter, with jam). Sufficient.
Neil went for a run. I went for a bus ride: the Montmartrobus, all the way around its route. Turns out the best part was the downhill trip we had already taken, but the rest had interesting moments and vistas, too. It's an electric bus and the drivers are quite brave about their narrow and hilly route: sometimes it feels like a roller-coaster!

Took Metro along our line to Solferino stop, which is the Musee d'Orsay. Had crepes for lunch in a cafe there, met Cyn and Ros and toured for 2.5 hours. A bit of museum fatigue. Excellent building, excellent art! Saw a mouse who lives there.

Rested before dinner and ate together at the Relais de Gascogne at our corner. Cyn went off to a concert, Ros, home, Neil to Ros's to pick up laundry--he's probably reading in bed while he waits for me to come upstairs...
Also, I'm trying to call Mary Ann, but no one seems to be home in La Wantzenau.
