Today we went separate ways, Jim took the kids to the Science place and I went to Sacre Coeur. I discovered that cheese is really interesting even in the grocery stores and very reasonably priced as well. I found a store with wonderful french lace and bought a couple of french scarves. One of the great things about coming here is summer is it is cherry season. Lunch was cherries, Saint paulin cheese(this was Bens favorite when we lived in Switzerland) ,croissants, and a piece of apple tart. This afternoon we all wandered over to the centre de Pompidou. I took the kids in for some more art. I really enjoyed seeing the Jackson Pollacks, Matisses's, Picassos and Kandinskys . We found a shop selling vintage shoes and Joel got himself a pair of Converse All Stars. We had tea at an Italian restaurant because we all felt like pasta and we bought ourselves a french gateau to share for dessert.
