flea market

the maguires wanted to go to the giant flea market, at clignancourt.  unfortunately for them, we are having a cold wave.  it’s not normally this cold.  anyway, we wandered through the lanes of the flea market.  20 years ago, they had been here and found a dealer who specialized in devil things.  the kids told me that the devil candlesticks that she bought are her most cherished possession.  they actually recognized the area and said, they thought the devil man was nearby.  it turned out that we were right there at the precise spot, but he was closed.  the neighbor gave us all the info and i will contact him to see if he has a website.  afterwards, we walked to sacre coeur, then thru montmartre, then to see the moulin rouge.  they wanted to go to pere lachese, the famous cemetary, but we stopped in belleville to go to a chinese restaurant i knew.  “le president” has very cool decoration, but unfortunately it wasn’t fabulous.  we had dim sum. afterwards, they went on to pere lachese. i went home to paint.  they went out for dinner to see another old friend.
