On the RER from de Gaulle airport. I slept more than I've ever slept on a plane. Of course Liesel was squished between me and one of the many canadian students. At one point both me and the adorable Nicholah were sleeping on both of Liesel's shoulders.
Our view from the 6th floor of the Hotel Utrillo. Notice La Tour Eiffel!
Sacré Coeur, and Liesel in work out clothes
Note this is the ONLY day we woke up and took a brisk walk.
Me and Roxanne, owner of Célis, a hand knitted items boutique.
Esther, in honor of the dog, Esther.
Liesel dropped tuna in her purse.
some of our bizarre salad with tuna and rice, and no salt.
I saw a lady trip and slam into this door and I couldn't stop laughing. I mean, her face was squished against the glass. She played it off much better than I would have.
Knitting group at Brentano's by the Opéra Garnier.
Pouvez-vous prendre ma photo avec les tricoteuses? Oh wait, there was one guy crocheting...Liesel was like "there's a man for you!"
At La Bastille in a café
I didn't know that the revolutionaries who died at La Bastille were actually buried under the column. Nass.
Liesel liked this girl's hair so I pretended to take a picture of the scenery...
Van Gogh brothers
Church at Auvers sur Oise...Where Van Gogh rented a room and painted before killing himself. Nice and cheery.
I love this logo
Absinthe Museum!
The hotel where Van Gogh died.
Chez Juliette
The Button Man. Check out these antique french buttons. I talked to him for an hour about where they came from and how they were made. I love this stuff.
He bought them at wholesale when french button companies went out of business. They are now mostly made in China.
Near our fabulous hotel
A bead shop
Le Moulin de La Galette...The club was named after this windmill where apparently someone was crucified during the Commune. Yikes.
Montmartre view of Paris
Musée de Montmartre- my favorite museum ever.
Renoir once lived in this house
One of the best yarn shops I've ever been to. They don't allow pictures inside. Now that's hard core.
Blanche et Constance Poniatowski
Ladislas et Vincent, Blanche's boyfriend
E and Blanchie Blanche
I must find this umbrella somehow.
I went to the counter with my Edith Piaf biography and paid 22 euro, thinking is was 12 euro, but it was really 12 pounds, and from my credit card statement, the book actually cost me $33.72. And it's on amazon.com for $19.77.
Notre Dame de Paris
The Louvre
Notice "LAINES" on a shop. That means wools. Heck yeah.
Fabric in the garment district.
Last morning in Paris. It was beautiful.
