We're on a roll, weatherwise, for now 3-8-15

Today was even better than yesterday, both sunny and warm with no wind!   After yesterday's walk we just lazed away the morning on the little deck outside our kitchen, did a little shopping at the Sunday market two blocks away, and finally joined what seemed to be the rest of the arrondisement at the park along the canal.   I think people were really ready for a nice day because they were out in great force just sitting in the park and soaking up the sun.  I loved seeing this little girl playing with a busker in the park

I had my first extended conversation with a wine merchant wherein he would say things and I would nod and gesture and then likely say something ignorant or foolish and he would very courteously agree.  I did end up with an extremely good bottle of wind at a very reasonable price so all in all it seemed to work out.   I still have a fair ways to go trying to really get better at French.
