Top of the Eiffel Tower this morning. That is a good way to start your day. Then we ate sandwiches and crepes in the Tuileries and then we went to Jeu de Paume for a Cindy Sherman retrospective. The line for the Orangerie was wicked long and I was almost glad. Speaking of long lines, there's a new museum in town that just opened today called Musee De Quai Branley. There was a 2 hour wait to get in so I hope to slip in some time next week. The building is tres tres cool. Poor husbandman had to work in the math compound. Tomorrow we'll head out to Normandie for a few days at the sea.

I'm bad with my articles and I'm about to get booted from this terminal.
Quel domage.
It sounds like you're packing a lot in every day! Tu est tres intelligente! I love these pictures! When will we see the ones that Quinn took of himself? :)
But what about the sewage museum? Why don't you write on your visit there?
It does sound like you are having a ton-o-fun!!!!!! We miss you guys!

ah.. the Paris Sewer Museum: one of my favorites. You go to some non-descript intersection near the Sein, walk though a metal door in a little kiosk, down a spiral staircase, and, viola! You are in the sewer museum. Quite the technological marvel, really. (Even Mary agrees) I won't spoil the end of the tour (like that's possible) but I will say that you should linger over the various exhibits about the modern history of the system.
Musée des Egouts de Paris (Museum of the Sewers of Paris); Pont de l'Alma (Place de la Resistance); facing 93 Quai d'Orsay, 75007 Paris; Closed Thursdays and Fridays; Admission 25 FF (in 1997)
