I hope I got a 'from a distance' and 'up close' of the Pointilist work by Charles Angrand's "Couple dans le Rue".
d'Orsay resto has the best paper napkins ever!
Dinner tonight is going to be the appropriated croissants and vin noix.
Bon soir and thanks for kind words and understanding!

And a clarification or 3:
So far, my chip and signature Visa has worked in the little credit card machines AND the ticket machines.
The free Word software onthe Kindle is called Office Suite. Ads to upgrade for a price pop up. The good bus map can we read without wifi--a huge thing for me.
Also, when I said there was no place to put stuff inlast hotel, I meant in the bathroom. There is a nice closet/shelf/drawer combo behind sliding mirrored doors
There is no business center or resto and the computer signal has not been consistent.
Really, bon soir.

amazing that you are persisting with posting TD - and in so much terrific detail. I'm not sure that I'll be able to manage it with my ancient model; I'm conflicted at the moment about whether to take my laptop on hols with me next week or just use the iPhone.

I am caught up too but somehow confused. You're not back at Hotel Clement? I missed the name if you moved to a different hotel upon your return from Bordeaux.
In any case, have a beautiful day, TDudette!

I have only had a few summer truffles, TDude. They are delicious, but far less pungent and mysterious (and far cheaper) than the Black Diamonds of winter.
By "Baghdad" I just meant that our house/veranda wall looks like a war zone. Honestly, if you pulled up and looked at that side of our house, you'd think a missile had landed there and destroyed it. It's the same sort of rubble you see in NY Times photos of Syria and Afghanistan and Baghdad and other war-torn places. Rocks strewn all over the place. Dust. Rubble. Chaos.
Nice that you are becoming familiar with the bus system in Paris. Loving your trip notes about traipsing around the city.
Looking forward to the rest of your trip...

Thanks to all! Being solo and with less stamina than in the past, I have more time to post and relax. Also, this is not my first trip here so none of thar first trip pressure to see it.
annhig, perhaps others will weigh in about bringing computer. It is larger and one more thing to charge. I see 3 available electric sockets in this room.
Oh good, StCirq! It is easier to relate to upheaval than a naked Arab....

Too late, post was awfed.
Thanks for truffle resto name, Belinda. I looked at maps and that looks like a great street/area. I don't think I'll get back there. Did you stay in area?
What I have had, upon being sliced paper-thin, looked like a large aged brown-skinned radish. Summer truffles?
I am back for a wee rest after an excellent visit to the newly (?) renovated Rodin Museum, a good walk, and a couple of stops for sweets.
Will post after dinner.
