Au revoir, Paris....

Last 48 hours here.....gathered up all my fancy books today, put them in a suitcase and trundled off in a taxi to resell them to Shakespeare and Co. 15 Euros later, in traffic from construction, I slog the suitcase into Shakespeare and she picks out the most expensive books (all brand new) 8 of em - and gives me 6 Euros. Nice. So then I take the ones she didn't want over to Abbey Books around the corner, another English book store and he wants the rest and gives me 12.5 Euros. So I made 3.5 Euros on the lot. What a score. Landlord brought these lilacs by on his way out of town.

So off to Baltimore with a bad head cold and a heavy heart. Some happy memories of Chateau de Blavou visit on the weekend with my friend Jean-Philippe and the owner Nigel Murray. Will play a recital there on Bastille Day in July!
