The weather has certainly changed, and it is very cold. Whether it was the cold or the fact that we had been away and needed to do some basic house cleaning as well as catch up on our laundry, we puttered around the flat most of the morning.
Before we left to go to Strasbourg, we had agreed to meet Georges for dinner in Montmartre, which we did last night. We ate at a rather quaint old place, La Mere Catherine, in the Place du Tertre. The restaurant has been there for several hundred years and while the company was great, we all agreed the food was a bit "touristy". Still, as we keep saying, Montmartre remains a fascinating village. At dinner, we agreed to meet Georges for lunch today in Montparnasse.
The cold seemed to have increased by the time we got there and walked to his hotel but we struggled on and after meeting Georges, went to a local bistro where the food was truly excellent. Lunch, with a bit of wine, lasted for almost four hours. Ah, C'est la vie Francaise. By the time we left to head back to the flat, the winds coming from Russia and the East were keenly felt. It would be nice to say the weather was "bracing," but bitter seems a bit more appropriate. Any way, we made it home after sadly wishing Georges a good flight back to Australia.
