We've messed up on counting our days somewhere but are too lazy to figure it all out! Today dawned cloudy with predicted rain. I must say, the weather gods have been wonderful to us. It's mostly been in the low 70s with just enough rain to look good to us Californians. I wish I had brought rain boots, then I could walk in the rain longer. I actually bought a pair of opaque black tights to wear to keep warm when wearing a dress and bought a down vest at Uniqlo in London to keep warm. Can't complain about the heat or the cold. It's just right for me. Of course, as soon as we stepped out the door this morning, it started to rain.
We walked over to a wonderful little Italian restaurant (Cailloux) in the charming Butte aux Cailles area. We had the prix fixe menu that included entree, plat, and wine for John and plat, dessert, and wine for me (which I shared with John). Very good Italian lunch.
Upon leaving the restaurant an hour and a half later (short lunch by Parisian standards), we decided to just walk around aimlessly. That wasn't as fun as we thought it would be due to the rain, so we boarded the Metro and headed toward Montparnasse to see if we could find a cinema. Luck was with us as we soggily landed in a theater to see New York Melody in English (v.o.--version originale). It was subtitled in French. Great movie and fun way to spend a rainy afternoon.
Back to the apartment by 6:30. Time to start thinking about packing for our return trip. Our shuttle arrives here between 6:20 and 6:40 a.m. Thursday morning.
No photos today as it's too hard to take a photo and hold an umbrella at the same time! --Gail
Can't believe you're almost on your way home! Have a great last day a Paris!
