I still want to share my Paris adventures with you. On Wednesday April 14, 2010, I had a fun day as usual - the morning consisted of breakfast at our apartment and general kicking back. Then DOJ's friend Darius came to visit. Darius lives in Aachen, Germany and came to Paris for 3 days because of our visit. He also went to my parents' wedding in Italy in 2006. He and DOJ have known each other for many years thanks to the Saint Etienne mailing list, and they have met in person in Europe at least once a year since 2003.
Darius arrived in our apartment and we went off to a luncheon at Good News Cafe, which was near our apartment. Darius has had a large influence on my daddy's musical interests, having introduced him to artists as diverse as A1, Bobby Reed, H & Claire, North and South, The Beach Boys' album Carl & the Passions, Johnny Boy, Rachel Stevens, April Stevens, The Shangri-Las, and Nervus Nervous. He also enhanced DOJ's interest in the amazing band Steps. What a tragedy! Oh well, that's the way you make me feel.
After our luncheon, we made plans to see a Marionnette show, aka a puppet show! The puppet show was in the theatre in the Luxembourg Gardens.
Darius didn't join us for the puppet show; instead he went to his hotel to rest before we would meet for dinner. Here's a picture of DOJ and me in the Luxembourg Gardens - as you know, we've spent a lot of time here because the Gardens of Paris are just so lovely and fantastic. Note that one can rent the little boats for the ponds in the Parisian gardens. Although we didn't rent any boats, we had fun looking at the boats in the pond.
Here we are at the Marionnette show - we saw a performance of The Three Little Pigs. Mind you, it was all in French.
After the show, we went to retrieve our stroller - note how all of the strollers are parked outside the theatre. Everyone respected each other's stroller privacy. Yay!!!!!
Stay tuned for more Paris adventures!
Love,
Julien the Baby
