Breakfasted with two regulars at the hotel du parc (from 1960) who came from Copenhagen and liked trees.
Packed and ready for Dakar. Tried to post little realizing that today all saints day would be post pas possible. Payed my respects along with half of Montparnasse at the cimitiere to CB and Cezar. The autumn fluttering leaves and the early morning still made for a perfect reflection moment.
Then packed bicycles and made them shrink into the cave. We are trying to get through customs at Dakar with no checked baggage....so have now only two bags for everything. Causes a bit of a reshuffle and we are leaving stuff here and posting stuff home etc... complex.
We are both tired today but decide to go the the musee d'erotism in Montmartre anyway. Big collection and some wonderful book illustrations by a Nicole Cloveloux which were detailed and descriptively humorous. The wooden monkey schlongs left me cold as did the antique french movies. Joyless. However an interesting collection none the less. 5 floors with everything from skeletons lovin to vibrating holy pictures.
Home to buy an enormous parmesan piece which will get us arrested at the border I'm sure.
