Holiday
Bois de Vincennes
Last week, the beautiful day and lack of ability to run errands convinced me to go to Bois de Vincennes with Guillaume, another post doc. The park is large and green and basically everything someone missing Seattle would want – boaters, kids playing, lovely blooming trees, winding paths through woods. We then met Bryan for drinks and dinner and chanced to see a great band in the bar (Pica Pica). We were lucky to be sitting on stools, as it got very packed, with people sitting on the floor (including really cute kids). The band was advertised as “street music” or “gypsy jazz” – an accordion, a violin, and a guitar. I was half in love with the violinist by the end of the set.
Below some more pics of Bois de Vincennes and the band, taken on Guillaume’s iPhone. Later, some pics of my new apartment.
A+!
