Jake in Paris

My nephew Jake, who had just finished an art class in Turkey for his work at Earlham College, was doing a short tour of Europe, and as he had seen Sicily before, we decided to meet in Paris. One of the places he wanted to have coffee was Les Deux Magots, where Papa Hemingway used to hang out when he was not expostulating on the wonders of cellophane tape to my mother when she was a librarian in Paris. Here is Jake in front of the place that sells the most expensive coffee I have ever had. It even beats the absurdity of Star###ks, but at least the coffee was good.
Jake and I did some of the usual tourist things, including the Musee D'Orsay and some churches - including my favorite St Severin and everyone's favorite Notre Dame. Of course, I needed to do some shopping, and that gave Jake time to see the other sites he was interested in, including the Tour Eiffel, Mont Marte, and the Louvre. We also went to a nice quiet jazz club in St Germain de Pres one evening, and ate our fill of wonderful Paris Bistro food.

It was fun for me to spend some time with my nephew, and I think he enjoyed Paris as well.
