Ceci, once again you've allowed me to see Paris through your eyes. The photos are wonderful. They gave me an idea of what it was like to take that ride. How great that you had seats up front!!

Loved the photos of you, Jim and your mother. You all look great. I know you are enjoying this autumn in Paris!

Pat, thanks. I figured people would like to see pictures of us. I'm not very good at taking pictures of people, whether that's us or other people. But occasionally someone remeinds me.

Maura, Thanks, The gardens here are great. We are having a good time. Thanks for checking in. Have fun at school!

I had to delete that 3rd comment. It was spam. I hope I don't get too many of those. If I do I'll have to put in that filter, where you have to type in the letters in the box. We'll see what happens.

Ceci - Since my laptop died, I haven't been able to delight in spending time on your site and enjoying your photos. I hope my new one gets here soon! My time is so limited since I'm using the library. I know I have something to really look forward to once I'm up and running again! Blessings to you - Rose

A visit to Louis Pasteur Museum

Image
We decided to try to visit the Louis Pasteur museum, which we thought was on the campus of the Louis Pasteur Institute , a bio-medical research institution in Paris. We passed this church, which was called St. John the Baptist de la Salle. I hadn't heard of this saint before, but I liked the statue of him with the children. Then we passed a building on our right with lots of people walking around it carrying notebooks. They looked like students. We still weren't sure where the museum was, but through a gate on our left we saw this statue, which Jim recognised from some papers he'd read. We went into the reception area at the guard house and asked for the museum and were told it was here. The girl asked us for ID's and made us name badges right on the spot. We clipped them onto our clothes and walked into the museum. Inside we saw signs directing us upstairs. The desk for the museum was empty, but a sign said it would be open at 2:00. It was 1:55, so we waited. Pretty...

Delhi monuments, sights, streets

Image
We’ve been in Delhi for a week now. We’ve learned some things and still have much to learn.  We know how to use the metro, rented a car one day to take us to several interesting monuments, tombs and temples, have walked around downtown a bit, have fought off many people trying to sell us something or get us into a shop where they will get a cut if we buy something.  We are unfortunately learning that not all the helpful tips we are offered are true.  We found a metro station that we like. It’s one station past the big interchange station at Connaught Place. It’s quiet and clean and there are no crowds. We can remember it because it sounds like ‘Barak Obama.’ The name of this station is Barakhambra road. We used it twice before and recognized the entrance.  So when a fellow tried to direct us to a shop, I said, “No, we are just going to the metro.” and I pointed towards the station. He said “The metro is not that way. It’s back this way.”  We knew he was lying ju...

Un Télégraphe de Chappe

Un Télégraphe de Chappe This is just so cool. I think I have a couple readers who admit to being technology nerds, or steam-punk enthusiasts. I’m not sure if this qualifies as steam-punk, because it might just be too authentic. I’ve been listening to The Count of Monte Cristo through Craftlit. If you read this blog last August you might remember I said the same thing then. Yeah, at a chapter or two a week it is taking a long time to get through this book, but that’s okay. I’m learning more than I did the first time I read/listened to it. In about chapter 61 or 62 the Count manages to convince (pay off) a telegraph operator to transmit a false message, which then causes someone he knows to sell some stocks at less than their value and lose money. The first time I read this book, I just assumed it was an electric telegraph that sent Morse Code. I was wrong, because this happened (fictionally) in 1838, which was before the electric telegraph came into use in Franc...
