Week 2

Eric is really enjoying his job and the issues that he is researching and assisting with. He was invited to a fancy dinner with his colleagues. Too bad B and I had to stay home.

B and I enjoy make long strolls around town and picnics in the park. He loves to see the cool high school kids although I hope he doesn’t pick up on their smoking habits. Everyone here seems to smoke.

This week we visited Luxembourg Gardens and the Pantheon. It’s so lovely. We also came across the slut walk protest. I’ll let you look it up. I find it to be somewhat of an interesting subject, but I won’t state my opinion in the matter.


And since it was the first Sunday of the month, that means free museum day. Oh how I miss not having to pay for the museums in DC. We visited the Pompidou modern art museum, which is right by church. No one was there since they don’t have a satellite connection and it was GC.


We spent some time strolling the streets and found this yummy-looking candy stand on the walkway between two busy roads- and why not? Seems like a perfectly good spot to me too.

We also happened to come upon a fashion show- at least that’s what I think was going on. So I snapped a picture. As we were walking by we saw four large rolling racks full of black garment bags being rolled into the back door of this building. When I went in for a closer look, I found lots of beautiful women getting their hair and makeup done. We walked around the building to see if there were any signs up as to what was going on, but no luck.
