On Sunday evening, April 15th, we dressed in our best outfits and rode the Metro to Notre Dame for an evening mass. Then we caught the Metro over to the Lourve area and enjoyed a special treat: drinks at the five star Hotel Le Meurice on rue de Rivoli. We were greeted graciously by the doorman and entered the Bar 228, a favorite of Hemingway when he was in Paris. We each enjoyed a kir served with a dish of several different snacks while we enjoyed the jazz musicians that play in the bar nightly. On our way home by Metro that evening...probably about 10 pm...we heard music but no musicians...only a photographer and a ballet dancer. We stayed and watched his performance; we applauded at the end and he turned and thanked us. Paris continues to surprise us....
