For various reasons, we have to move today as we were only able to secure this place until now, although it should be fun sussing out a new ‘hood even for a few weeks.<\/p>\n
It’s a holiday today, the end of WWII in 1945, so some things are closed, but not as many as last week. Even the gym doesn’t open until 9.<\/p>\n
Having been ribbed by the Prince about my talking about the weather, I was thinking about why\u00a0it matters more here than at home. It’s mainly\u00a0because we aren’t going to and from an office everyday but are rather considering walks, musuems, an\u00a0terrasse\u00a0<\/em>at a\u00a0caf\u00e9\u00a0<\/em>and that sort of thing. Not only that but there is no doubt that we are outside here more than in Toronto, even in the summers. That said, it’s supposed to rain for the next week although the weather daily is ridiculously changeable. Sandy’s teacher told their class that in April and May, a woman should always have a shawl when going out ’cause you never know…’<\/p>\n The move was pretty easy and we are now in a more populated, less residential area, on the rue de L’Eperon,\u00a0between\u00a0Blvd. St. Germain and the very busy (many\u00a0cr\u00e9pes\u00a0<\/em>places) rue St. Andr\u00e9 des Arts, sort of above the once-acclaimed restaurant Andr\u00e9 Allard. Funnily enough, about a year or two ago, we had a pleasant lunch there, their famous roast chicken and wild mushrooms\u00a0if I recall correctly. At our place on rue de Vaugirard, we had the Catholic Institute across the street; here we’ve got Lyc\u00e9e Fenelon.<\/p>\n
