We are both feeling a lot less jaded and today dawned cloudy and rained dung breakfast, it was Sheila's day en Paris so I was all ears. Bikes were to be forgotten and the metro employed to get us around.
Civvies on and off to the old Roman baths converted into Cluny. The Licorne was still there to amuse us and a collection of medieval knives and other Sunday objects. We laughed at how the postcard wish had come true after all these years. Then off to the Madeleine Mary Magdelenes fine 1800's retrro tribute. The fine thing was the uplifted stone breast on one side of the church and the staid mother and baby scene directly across haha I know which one I'd be praying for.....
Lunch was great even as I gave back the undercharged 10 euros to the macho waiter....
Then off to Montmartre the artists colony through which threaded our stairway up and up and up.... A quick circuit of an absolutely massive almost eastern gold mosaics and divine essence pouring into peoples mouths.....
Beer and oversize shoes later we zapped home to book our Milan hotel....we will be on the Adda river soon to share the view with Da Vinci who died in Amboise.....
