Saturday in Paris

Saturday, up and at 'em. After Coissants and warmed milk, it's off to the science museum, which was translated for us about this time, when a lovely old dog came out of his traveling bag to greet us on the Metro. Good doggy
Aicha took these pictures, by the way. Here's the entrance to the musee.
Emma Nour says the best part was the exhibit on light, making our shadows rainbow colored. We could also test our skills, those that didnt require speaking French, and EN won them all. Aicha liked the amazing holograms, like dizzy gillespie picking up his horn, blowing, then putting it down and smiling, all in one walk by the screen. My favorite was the way the whole museum took children seriously, and made everything simple, elegant, without bells and whistles. Teachers were doing serious experiments in every other room. The enlightenment in 21st century terms.

W e all looked longingly at the cafe there, but Khaldia shook her head non.
And out we went into the sunlit champs de elyses, however you spell it, which is an ordinary city street, only with sidewalks as wide as a two lane highway, lined with trees, cafe table and chairs, elegant stores, with little clean-up trucks cleaning up after everyone, and ending at the arch de triumph.





































more to come! Look for Saturday part 2
