Our activities this past weekend included the History of Immigration Museum, Luxembourg Garden, Zadkine Museum, Dinner at Brasserie Bocuse, Parc de Bercy, Coffee and chocolate outside in Bercy Village.
Yesterday I walked west through the Marais, the Tuileries, and the Champs-Elysees to arrive at the Arc de Triomphe. Last time I visited the Arc, it was wrapped in cloth and ropes. But now it's unwrapped and stands naked to the world. As I gazed up, the Arc said, "So good to see you again, Madame Americaine. I was hoping you'd return." We chatted awhile and then I hopped on the metro. It took me 2 hours to get to the Arc, but only about 13 minutes to get home on the metro. Clearly, we need a metro in our beloved B-town.
Also, I finished reading The Thursday Murder Club. Wow did I enjoy that. What great characters. You should definitely read it if you feel like it.
And one other thing, did I tell you I signed up for an online class about writing Flash Fiction? It's going to be an 8 week class starting tomorrow. Not sure I did the right thing by signing up for a class, but I felt a true yearning for learning. I'll let you know how it goes.

You are making the most of that town. I hope you enjoy the online writing class. It sounds like a good thing to do on these wintry days.
Wasn't that a great book?! There's another one, and he's working on the third. I love it. I thought I might try to do something similar, but now I think I'm going creepier.
Loved the book. Can't remember laughing out loud while reading for a long time. The characters are amazing. I wonder how his second is?
It seems to me that you have a yearning for learning every day. :) I can't recall when I last read a book (ugh) but will add that one to the list.
