Jane & Olivier

Jane & Olivier came this weekend from Geneva. They'd been meaning to come and took advantage of the fact that Jane suddenly had a day off on Friday. We all went to the Louvre on Friday evening (and everybody got in for free except Jane). Looked at Boulle furniture and the Islamic collection (which included a temporary exhibit of stuff from Nishapur courtesy of the Met in NY). In the evening, we went looking for mussels, but did not find a good place.....so.....the following morning, when we found a box of 3 kilograms of mussels for 3 euros, we bought them right away on a whim. We didn't even know what to do with them. Fortunately, Anabela (the cleaning woman) was around at noon and told us how to cook them (Portuguese style). To continue on the food theme, we had fondue in the evening (with ingredients brought by J&O). Not too bad. Then I imposed a James bond movie on J&O, who slept through half of it (Gina slept through all of it). I was on #11 (Moonraker). After Gina & I did our 5k run around the Parc Montsouris, we went with J&O to the Musee Rodin. One of the better deals in Paris as long as you don't buy the ticket for the museum (5 euros); the ticket for the garden is just 1 euro. Here are some of the pictures. First, J&O:



(I counted to three (in Chinese), but they ignored me and didn't smile.) Here are some other pictures:
