paris journal

4:45 p.m.

We walked around at A's pace. I had to just let the day be, plod behind her, try to help when she asked for help, let it go when she cut me off and ignored my help (while thanking me for it).

We had omelets at the Metro Café next to the Oberkampf subway stop, walked and rode to the Place des Vosges and had a snack - me a tarte du jour, her fish soup, both of us espresso, her also a wine.

We walked to the Picasso Museum but were too exhausted to pay for a ticket. She took a taxi back to her hotel, I walked back to Mme. Rey's apt. - very cool room in a sweet toothless old widow's place.

The room is decorated with Tibetan art from magazines, postcards, books, and a pretty statue of a young Buddha she told me she won in a lottery.

Now I'm gonna shower and head back to A's hotel for dinner I guess. Got to keep awake so I can start tomorrow right - no curtains in my room.
