We made it to "Shakespeare & Co". Somehow I expected to be there with silence and the ghosts of the lost generation. What was I thinking? It was jam packed with visitors and monitored by two very annoyed Americans working the cash registers. But, nothing is all a bad thing. I found my 'souvenir' of the trip. A copy of Alice B. Toklas' cookbook. Yes, this can be passed from one generation to another and I/we can use it as a companion to Julia Child as we try to re-create some of the wonderful food we've enjoyed.
After a fruitless but fabulous walk around this section of Paris looking for the steps on which Gill waits for his taxi in "Midnight in Paris" we decided to hang out on this beautiful summer's day in the Jardin de Luxembourg. It was delightful and we watched parents with children, some odd pick-up game of basketball, dozens of tennis players and of course lovers and their park gymnastics. I love that parks in Paris have moveable chairs as well as benches and tables. It allows for that moveable feast - as the action moves so do you.
