Day 5

Went out without my personal map, i.e. Ross for the first time today.  Came back with more, bigger bandages, a beignet stuffed with Nutella, croisant aux aumands, and roule aux chocolat.
Later took the Metro to the left bank.  Beautiful fountain at St. Suplice
They were holding a service when we went in.  The statue of Mary and the infant Jesus standing on a globe is extraordinary. No photos during service, just look up St Suplice Lady Chapel online.  From there we wandered on to Luxembourg Gardens.  Walked and wandered, sat and admired the flowers.  Lots of yellow and the scent of the sweet alysum was delightful.

Many folks had brought McDonalds for lunch. It was packed when we walked by.  Not so much Quick Burger.  We've also seen Subway, KFC, Starbucks and a Donato Italian restaurant.  
Walked
to the Pantheon and on down Ste Germain du Pres in slowly accelerating raindrops.
