In Don's Wheelhouse 6-26-15

Today we took Don to see the Museum of Science and Metier, the museum dedicated to the history of Science and Technology.  It's housed in an 18th century Paris mansion and attached to a 15th century church that was deconsecrated repurposed.
Don worked at Honeywell with Deb as a metrologist and after leaving Honeywell studied to become a Land Surveyor.   He has kindly done all the unofficial surveying of our land in Guffey and has helped us down there with a variety of chores.  Anyway he is very interested in the history and application of measurements, and this is the museum that has it.   We spent several hours viewing the displays, then had lunch in the inner courtyard of the mansion before finishing up in the converted chapel.   This is where Foucault's pendulum is currently housed, as well as Bleriot's monoplane in which he was the first to fly across the English Channel.



We finished the day with a little travel gift shopping at BHV, Deb's favorite store in Paris, and then boarded the bus back to the apartment.
