A Parisian Thursday

Decided our hotel was much too small...after being squashed in the breakfast room without even the space to butter our bread!

hotel search, then a trip up to sacre coeur (by funiculaire). Saw an older, much more spiritual church behind the big one... St Pierre. Had coffee at Place du Tertre, looked at artists working and selling, came down by montmartrobus.

Moved to new hotel. Hotel Surcouf: what does that mean? Larger and cheaper, a bit funkier. had lunch chez Callard ... on local purchases, and got a little laundry going, too.

Callards took us to the fabric shops.. many and huge, and diverse! A few purchases: I have some restraint.

In the evening, out to the Ballet at the Opera with Cyn. Amazing building, imparired view, ballet: Le Parc, interesting but not satisfying?
Dinner after, Bistro Romaine, fine.
Bed by midnight, good long sleep
