The Marais, and bubbles



We had a very low key day today, we did some shopping. Mostly for John, another visit to the Camper store for shoes for him, and a walk in the Marais to buy lovely french cut dress shirts.

We ate at a cool trendy cafe and watched the world go by.



Then we found a playground to goof off in, and splashed in the Artsy fountain outside the Centre Pompidou. It was a fun day.

The highlight was a street performer who was making massive bubbles, Gwen made a friend, and they chased these huge bubbles for about a half hour. Lots of fun!

Then we went to the movies to see Numero 9, Tim Burton is the producer. It's called Number 9 in Canada. People with children beware, Gwen loved it, but Gwen tends to like dark subject matter like her Mom. It's a DARK film, completely lovely animation and score, but the story, visuals and ending are dark. So, i wouldn't recommend it to the 5 year old set.

  1. Denise, We are enjoying the blogs and the pictures are great. I am sure that you and Gwen are having a great daughter / mother experiencing considering the shoe shopping :-) see you both soon.
