We strolled the side streets off St Germaine boulevard, took coffee and lemon tarts at a Bistro and people watched and I then decided to concentrate on recording photos of the marvelous entry doors of Parisian buildings, large and small. I plan to construct a montage of these beautiful doors and transfer to canvas as a wonderful reminder of our time here. We scouted for a new dinner spot tonight and found several off the beaten paths to explore tonight as well as future birthday dinner for Michael, who turns 78 on the 18th.
I very cleverly found the "perfect" gift for him in London at an antique shop in SoHo. By happenstance, it is a beautiful small sculpture of lady justice....which should be meaningful to him representing all the legal work he has done these past 40 years. No, Michael is not a lawyer (nor am I), but I'm now convinced we both should have taken that extra step at University because we are both well suited to the profession. Instead, I'm fond of answering when asked if an attorney....."no, but we prefer to practice law without a license, and instead with money.....through our philanthropy". Clever, huh? And by happenstance, this sculpture is very old French! I think I got a "twofer" out of it!!!
