I finished Tulipmania this morning - it was a fun
read, especially the parts about the history of the tulip and the anecdotes
surounding the start of the tulip craze in the United Provinces. I think I'll
work on South
by Ernest Shackleton next (I've already read to where they are stuck on the
ice).
We went to Notre Dame cathederal - it is quite simply awesome! We had lunch
across the seine at Cafe Panis - a sandwich and salad today. Then, refreshed,
we headed to the Musée
National du Moyen Age, better known as the Cluny museum, the national
museum of the middle ages. We went into St. Severin, where the organist was
practicing and improvising. Our last stop of the day was the church of St.
Julien le Pauvre, which has been converted to a Greek Orthodox church.
Tonight we celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Paolo Petrini near the
Arc de Triumph - the food was fabulous, very Italian and very good (but it
wasn't cheap).
