we girls went biking along the seine on the highway they close on sundays. (i know i’ve said it already, but one of my favorite things to do.) we parked our bikes at the hotel de ville and went into the marais to shop and have lunch. we went to my favorite felafel place (“l’as du felafel”). shopping with libby is interesting. having been a buyer for a department store, she knows her stuff. she can tell good quality in subtleties that i miss. she said that the shoe store that we live next to, had some very well made shoes. i was glad to hear it since i thought the prices were just ridiculous. today was father’s day, but we didn’t do anything for p except leave him to his own devices. later in the day, we hosted a “neighbor’s” cocktail party again. we had a small group of parents come over. the french like cocktail parties, or as they are called, “aperitif”. it is a great little format for a party. just a few drinks and snacks for a couple of hours of chatting in the early evening and then people go on their way. libby went off to meet her aunt, my other cousin, and her family, who arrived tonight.
