Today was a good day to stay in and do some catch-up things because it rained All day and it was exceedingly heavy during mid-day. We did have to visit the dentist. She was considerate and very competent young lady. Alexandria's problem was fixed in 10 minutes and the bill came to 22 euros ($33) which is apparently the approved visit rate for medical insurance. When was the last time you went to the dentist even for something minor and came away with a bill for at least $100? The dentist was the only one in the office (her partner was on vacation) and she did everything, forms, billing, greeting, and actual dental work. The equipment was the latest technology as far as we could tell. If you are ever in Paris and need a dentist we can recommend a good one. We lunched at a small cafe near the dentist and hopped the bus back.
We stayed in during the afternoon, but went out for dinner just up the street at a Thai restaurant called Bai Thong, very good but a bit on the pricey side for a small out-of-the-way place. The food was excellent and we were the only ones there when we left at 8:30. We took a detour out to the ave Daumesnil to go home. We stopped to look at one of our favorite shops on the Viaduct des Arts. It is Le Bonheur des Dames. They specialize in needlepoint, both supplies and finished products.
