One snoozy train ride and some blocks of chilly but wonderful walking later, I met Sylvia at the Louvre courtyard.
Since I hadn't needed her for today's show, Sylvia went into town earlier and saw some sights. Though the Louvre is closed on Tuesdays, we decided to meet there so she could at least see the outside and get a glimpse of how Tom Hanks would never have been allowed to walk on the top of the upside-down pyramid in that one movie about the one renaissance guy who wrote some code.
After meeting, it was off to walk on the Rive Gauche! I was heading to a place called Mariage Frères to pick up some tea and jam for volleyball friend Spiro. After buying stuff for ourselves as well, we spent a nice time in the Salon du Thé drinking some very nice tea and eating some very nice desserts.
Yes, once again, we were having dessert before dinner.
