karen and joel and anna came to paris and jj and i met them for lunch near jj’s school. it is wednesday, so jj has half a day. i was friends with karen and joel when i lived in nyc. i met them through my friend, jane, who lived in the same building. back then, their son aaron was around 5 and later anna was born. aaron is now in medical school and anna is a gorgeous young woman, living in florence for junior year abroad. just a reminder of time passing. it was really fun to see them and to talk to anna. they picked a crepe place that is called “crepe contemporain” and it was great. i had passed the place before but ignored it because it was crepes. the normal crepes around here are pretty standard – ham, cheese, or ham and cheese. maybe salmon. but this one had much more interesting stuff – sort of like a continuation of the “american” crepes that were fashionable in the 70’s. i had a mushroom crepe. jj had a duck, potato and apple crepe.
