Encore, Encore

I met up with Catherine, a friend of Nancy's, in Montmartre.  First we met in the Cafe 2 Moullins, which was in the movie Ameile.  Then we went with her two dogs to a restaurant with coquillages where I had a platter of seafood.  Unfortunately, again, I was underwhelmed by the food, but it was otherwise a very pleasant evening.

Sunday I went to the museum of Jewish History of the Arts, a beautiful private house made into a museum, with a statue of Dreyfus in the courtyard. I had lunch at Au Bon CousCous.   Afterward, I met up with Catherine, this time at the Musee d'Orsay.  We saw a wonderful Pre-Raphaelite Show of fabulous photographs from the 1860's.

As I mentioned earlier, today I lazed.  I went to a exhibition at the Musee Luxembourg of Cranach but it was so crowded that I didn't stay long.  I spent a lot of time in a chair at the Jardin du Luxembourg sitting in the sun.

The bottom line is I might try to exchange apartments for a few months with someone from Paris.  I really love it here.  I try to speak French and I can have the occasional conversations but I really need to spend some time here to learn more.  For an American, I have great accent but that isn't saying too much.
