Found it!

Finally, finally, finally...finally, I have found the Latin Quarter or rather that part of the Latin Quarter, which was as I had pictured it. Lots of eateries, cobblestones streets, colourful bags. The only thing missing was music. The place to remember was Rue des Andre des Arts and especially Cour du Commerce St Andre, a lovely cobblestone street.

This was a Russian Orthodox Church, totally hidden from view. You enter a gate and then go up an inclined road, sort off like a Buddhist monastery layout. Pretty, antique painted doors. I liked the shape.
I visited the church just before I was driven off the road by a cat.........yes, I know, I'm not proud of myself.
Was walking along and there was this totally black, feline creature in the middle of the road. I thought I should be able to pass by but she started growling and well, she was looking really menacing. I figured maybe she hasn't heard about the superiority of the human race. So, in my prudent frame of mind, I decided not to take any chances, and...took another road.
Back home, had to have essential, long conversations with Madame regarding our move. It really tests my French but god alone knows, what she understands of what I am trying to say. I have to work on speaking slowly. Right now, I speak as if I am scared that the person across will run away without hearing me out. Its a verbal marathon. Yoga has finally recommenced from today. Its a pleasure getting into postitions, really stretches all parts of the body. Getting Tweedledum to a doctor is URGENT. Somehow I can never understand the severity of the pain. How is he walking about?
As for the end to the day, we were to have Indian rajma, thai mixed vegetables and chinese rice for dinner. But our friend from Renault called and we ended up having Turkish doners instead. So, no cooking tomorrow.
