Some days are more interesting than others. Today was rather dull. We spent over three hours doing three loads of laundry. French machines are notoriously slow. We then dried some at the local laverie and the rest of those drying racks that all French families seem to have. This took up most of the afternoon. We did some shopping in the open air market and at the local Monoprix. After a light supper at home, we went up to the Bastille for tea and sat in the cafe for an hour or so and people-watched. The tea here was $3 less than it had been at our first cafe on the square. On the way back on the bus, we spotted a very interesting cafe facing the Gare de Lyon which we will try next. Seemed like there was a lot to see there
In our "quartier", there are some interesting buildings. Below are pictures of a few of them.

I don't know whether my first comment got to you. This is one thing I haven't learned yet, but I'll keep trying. It all sounds so wonderful and exciting. Trying new restaurants and cafes is always so much fun especially when you have the oppotunity to go back again to the ones you like. That is not the case when you are a tourist and moving all the time.
Continue to enjoy this wonderful experience. I find your comments and pictures most interesting.
