The Pace

 Yesterday I walked to Rue Mouffetard.  Today I walked for a longer time, west toward the Tuileries Garden.  Catherine De Medici had these gardens built near her palace back in 1564. I spent some time reading about her this afternoon.  She kept busy, let me tell you.  

My walking pace appears to be slower than some pedestrians who click by in a rush. I don't like to be an impediment to the progress of others, but in the end, everyone needs to do their best and forget the rest. 

The garden was lovely under a sunny blue sky. I walked through the Christmas Market and considered buying some aligot for lunch, but maybe that will happen on another day.  

 I love the green metal chairs placed all over Parisian parks.  Why can't we have those in Bloomington? Would people abscond with them?  Is that the problem? I'm going to start a campaign for park chairs when I get home.  I hope you'll join me.
