Entre Les Murs

Almost Summer

Now we're getting somewhere: at last some real sun and warmth. We opened the windows today and let a breeze blow through the apartment.


Leaving our jackets behind, we went up to the eighth arrondissement to run an errand. Then we just went for a stroll, all the way up to Sacre Coeur and back down to the second. In the old covered passageways that we poked through there were antiquarian book and art shops, with bins of posters, books and photos out front. Back in our neighbourhood we did what people do everywhere on the first warm Saturday afternoon, and sat in a café with the newspaper.


This evening we went out for dinner with a work friend of Janet's, who is in town for an interview, and her husband. We walked up half of the sixteenth to a pleasant little bistro near their hotel called Le Bistrot des Vignes.
