conversation group met at mosque of paris which has nice tea room with outdoor patio. being the end of school, people are extra busy. there were only 3 of us out of 12.
was afraid of rain, but turned out to be nice day, though a little overcast. also has lovely restaurant with all the arabic tile. serves couscous etc. we had mint tea and some middle eastern pastries. went into the actual mosque later. didn’t know you could do that. embarrassed that i never had gone in before. really beautiful garden in the center of the walls. a sanctuary. felt tranquil. there in the middle of bustling city. there’s also a hammam, muslim steam baths– but it alternates men and women days and tuesdays are men days. i want to organize our group to go for a hammam. get naked!! (or wear a bathing suit). afterwards, went to apartment of another mom from the school, for a trunk show of beautiful jewelry. i just went to socialize and take a look. not cheap and certainly not justifiable for me to drop 250 Euros for a nice necklace. so i didn’t. the mom, mariko is from japan and very beautiful and classy. i think she is married to an american. she lives very close to our new apt.
