Interesting walks today - came across some places that I would certainly want to revisit. Heading the list was a bookshop selling books and encyclopedias at discount rates of 1-5 euros. Thanks to the anticipated baggage limit, couldn't even think of buying any. Name of the shop - Mona Lisait! The beauty was that I chanced upon it because I took the wrong road. Was to have turned at Rue des Rossiers (Marais) but I continued on with Rue Malher. Rue des Rossiers is said to be the Jewish quarter and it certainly felt like it - the windows, the people (caps et al). There was a great bakery - Korcarz. Want to go back there with Tweedledum one of these days. Other interesting eateries - Goldenberg, Sacha, L'As du fallafel (note the name).
On the subject of Tweedledum, he's going to love this.....
And then on the next walk, came across actual exposed wooden beam houses aka the 15th century. They were just a couple of ordinary houses in a lane but imagine the antiquity.
On rue du Pont Louis Philippe, saw the prettiest violin case ever. If that was the case, wonder what the violin looks like. Am noting the shop - some day I'll be back......and for that I better start practicing my playing. Have just given up since last year. Playing has become so intermittent.
There was a place called the Museum of curiosite et de la magie. Unfortunately open only on Wed, Sat and Sun. If possible, will go back and check it out.
And the good news, Roosevelt and Gaulle have had a baby girl! Somehow for the first time, the transition is striking me. Till last week, we were talking about the weight Roosevelt is gaining and that 'it' should be any time now. And suddenly there is a whole new person in this world. 'It' looks, feels, eats, thinks and very soon argues, fights, sulks:-)...this is magic.
