Saturday in Paris


l'album 1, originally uploaded by tintinetmilou.

Started out damp and rainy but cleared up midday.
Spent the morning and afternoon on the Left Bank. Bought some pastries at the Bakery Poilane and then went to the Marche Mouffetard.

In the afternoon a very long walk along Blvd St. Germain including a stop at the l'Album stores. Great shop for Tintinophiles. The figurine of Tintin et Milou dancing is 280 Euros!!! Expensive but would be a wonderful addition to someone's collection.

At night went to the Palais des Sports to see the musical/spectacle le Roi Soleil. It was a huge hit last year and has been brought back with the original cast to do it all over again (and make more money). What is unusual for a musical is this show has at least 5 great songs in it. I forgot my camera but no one else did, it was a continuous photo shoot during the whole show. The 20 yr old girl next to me was not only taking pictures but phoning a friend during the best songs so her friend could listen "live".

My cold/bronchitis/sore throat is returning, just hope it doesn't get any worse!!!
