order Pregabalin The day was sunny and bright, but a little cool about 50 degrees. In the sun it was warm, but on the shady side of the street we were glad we had our sweaters. We completed the walk from our book called Pigalle. It started at Metro Bonne-Nouvelle, walked down Boulevard Poisonniere (the road on which all the fish was transported to Paris’ market), past notable theaters like the Rex and Max Linder Cinema, through a Jewish area filled with restaurants and delicatessens, a couple of Catholic churches (Notre Dame de Lorette had magnificent ceilings and wall painting decorations), a grocery store with its original 19th century décor called The Housewife-founded in 1761, the French Masonic Great Lodge whose museum was under construction/renovation and closed, an area called Nouvelle Athenes where semi-luxury private houses were built in the 1820’s. We passed a guitar store called California Bass at the intersection of rue Pigalle and rue de la Rochefoucauld and wished Steve Nuckolls were here. The walk predicted in one area we would find amusement stalls (shooting, fortune-telling, etc) but they have apparently been replaced by Starbucks, McDonalds, and Pizza Hut.
Izmayil We stopped for lunch at a bistro in Place Pigalle and then headed to a Metro/RER station to try to buy our Navigo Decouverte card for next week. Many of the windows had long lines so we kept heading back to the apartment. Finally, we found a helpful attendant at Etoile who tried to understand my French and let us buy the carte, buy the weekly fare, and explained how to fill the card out and made sure we understood we could not use the card until Monday. We went back to the apartment, pulled the laundry out of the washer and hung it up to dry. Headed back out to find a sunny sidewalk bar to enjoy a glass of wine and pick up a baguette for dinner.
Mike made French Onion soup for dinner…
Out with the old Carte Orange and in with the now NaviGo Decouverte
