Michael and Barbara went for the morning's pastry at La Parisienne and got a bit lost en route, but found the bakery.

We got on the Metro at the St. Michael stop and went to the Musee d'Orsay where we had tickets for 11:30.
What a wonderful museum. But, it was crowded which was a little alarming with Covid worries not behind us. We all kept our masks on, but lots of people did not.
The couples split up and met for lunch at the Cafe on the fifth floor where we had a decent meal - Caesar salads, quiche for one of us and pasta for another.
We all enjoyed the Van Gogh exhibit a lot as well as all the Impressionists. So many Manets, Monets, Renoirs, Cezannes. Too many to list, but just wonderful and made better with the audio guide.

We left at 4:30, so it was a very full day. Then we too the Metro back and walked over to the Ile St Louis and sat down at a cafe for some famous Bertillon ice cream. We had - salted carmel, dark chocolate and pistachio. Then, we took our weary, but happy, bodies back to the flat around 7 p.m.
