jour 7, samedi, le 4 decembre

The weather was the big issue this morning. Blowing snow!! Looked like a mini blizzard. Accumulation was not a lot, just a few inches, but it made walking on the slippery sidewalks very treacherous.

Stayed close to home. Went to Mora, the baking shop, to buy some baking pans. Saw E. Dehillirin (cooking shop) and Le Pied de Cochon (restaurant) and walked around St-Eustache. Decided to head to the department store BHV. Looked at the cooking section and the hardware section in the basement. Headed home after this to get out of the snow.

In the afternoon the snow stopped. Went to the left Bank / Boulevard St-Germain to find the Village Voice bookshop for Katarina. Then Église de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. After fresh churros at the Christmas market. Then the Taschen bookstore. Incredible books here. The retrospective book on the photos of Helmut Newton was wonderful. Unfortunately the book was too heavy to carry so unable to buy and bring home.

Then back to Album to look at the BD articles. A walk passed Notre Dame to see the Christmas tree lit up. Stayed up watching Mozart the Rock Opera on DVD and then to bed.
