Rain was forecast for today and when we emerged from the Métro, it was in fact raining. I wanted to explore the NW side of Montmartre and Lucy and Ann joined in. We left Annie on Montemartre, and Lucy indulged my whim to ride clear out to the 20th to see where we lived in 1982 when I co-directed a summer study-abroad program for BYU. The rain had picked up and it was pouring down by the time we arrived on the Boulevard Davout. Le D'Artagnan, now a hostel, was a foyer (long-term hostel) in 1982, but is still there and looking as it did 39 years ago. Dinner at 7:00 at Oh Purée, just one door away from our flat. Delicious!

If there is no picture, it didn't happen, and, oh my, isn't
that a cute little villa?

our window on the first floor up)

That was home sweet home during the summer of 1982
Walking the neighborhood until our 7:00 booking
Oh Purée is tucked under scaffolding while they refurbish the
building next door

Kris's chicken with butternut squash and chestnuts

Stone walls and timber frame of the very old building
That's it for today.
