Success

Got a new metro pass for Peter easily, took about 10 minutes,  and we were off to the Rodin museum, which is beautiful as always; but, some of the gardens are closed due to some sort of huge construction project. Then went to l'Orangerie (one of the museums I've never been to) to see the Walter-Guillaume Collection & Monets Water Lilies - two oval rooms with the paintings surrounding you. If you've seen "Midnight in Paris", one scene is filmed there. Really beautiful!!! Then walked through the Tuileries, stopped for wine, cheese & french fries & home. Afer a rest, went down the street  to Le Parvis for a light dinner--I had escargot & Sharon & I shared a crepe with chocolate, chantilly & vanilla ice cream. It was a beautiful day in the 70s with a constant breeze. We have all discovered that it was a lot easier to walk around the city in our younger years!
