A Few Tidbits

Our favorite crepe place is around the corner from our house.  This morning the worker let Owen help make his own crepe.  Owen thought it was great.IMG_4175

Especially squeezing the lemon on top of the sugar.IMG_4176

When I went to pay, the cost .50 euro less since Owen had done part of the labor!

 

We found a new fountain close to us that Jack especially liked because it looked like the lions wanted to eat him.

These green fountain are all over Paris.  I read that they are water fountains.  Somehow I couldn’t bring myself to drink out of them (you fill a cup or bottle).  But after several days in the 80s with water costing $2-4 (and not usually remotely cold) I suddenly think they are brilliant! IMG_4181

Lynne and Chloe agree…IMG_4183

Yummy lunch/dinner at the Rose Bakery by the Luxembourg Gardens.  Goat cheese, olives and olive tapenade, tomatoes, artichokes, zucchini, and roasted onions and small dried figs.  IMG_4185

We went to the Musee Orsay today and Owen recognized some Gauguin paintings from studying them in class last year.  He was happy about his knowledge (and told Mamau that he would prefer to see more Gauguin rather than moving on to the Van Gogh section…  Both boys want to return to the museum and see the remainder of the galleries.  We will definitely go back!
