what it grew into was that whenever you come to an intersection to the right of traffic you blast on out and they always wait; you even pass on the right. It is a cardinal law.

Our hotel has cost $1.60 a night for us both. Food is more expensive. We've paid about $5-6 a day for it. With no sandwiches (or we could have eaten cheaper). For breakfast we go out to one of 3 or 4 pastry shops & make a selection, then proceed to a Tabac and order coffee & eat it, perhaps picking up an orange en route home. We've visited the art museum, the Ile de cité, the car place several times, & been up & down Sacré-Coeur. Barbara has been with me almost every evening & told & showed us many interesting features. We have to get along entirely in French otherwise. Our hotel patronne's husband has been quite chatty. We lost a room key yesterday & all 3 of us (he & we) have had the room apart searching for it (it was lost in the room), as yet to no avail but good for the conversational French! Barbara tells us it takes ages to have a key made so we understand his concern. 

Well, we'll let you know when we get settled.

Love,
