Day 9

Chilly day, cloudy with a few bursts of sun and blue, blue skies.  Walked to Musee D'Orsay through the Tuileries, with a quick stop at Galerie Colbert.
Ita always exciting to walk across

 the Seine.  This bridge has been the only one so far, where we've  seen padlocks on the bridge.   I've  heard that it had become quite a problem, to  the extent that the weight of the locks was damaging the bridges.
Our favorite museum is Musee D'Orsay, the space and the impressionist & post impressionist paintings, the section of Art Deco furniture and today the Henri Rousseau exhibit.  I am becoming more enthralled by Gaugin whereas Ross enjoys Van Gogh and Seurat.
Stopped at another yarn shop on the way back. Got alpaca yarn for another scarf for Ross.  This shop was little like a jumble shop, not chichi at all, just boxes of yarns lined up on shelves along the wall and on a low table/ bench down the middle.  Went back out to shop at C&A for socks when we saw the sun shining on the far wall of the light shaft that our windows look out upon.
Ended by shopping at a small market and a patisserie for supper.  Cucumber, onion, cocktail tomatoes in a olive oil, balsamic, dijon vinaigrette with torn basil, goat cheese and sauteed onions, sausage on a fesh baguette.
