You look so pensive.<BR/><BR/>What a walk down memory lane - I remembered the first photo of the Palace from having gone thru the old posts. I was shocked to see the inside -- I expected a club, not a theater. It surprised me to see this space open up behind what looks like a storefront to those of us not from the city. I went to a lot of clubs in the 80's (too poor in the 70's (!) and they did leave a lot of memories.<BR/><BR/>I worked on gaining some memories today: shopping to set up house at Monoprix, trying to get a metro card, trying to get tickets to Versailles, walking the islands, eating a Berthillon ice cream, and taking some twilight photos that I hope came out. Many things were tougher than I hoped, abut still, a great day. Tonight I made a huge pot of vegetable soup and tomorrow I'm going to go at 7 to the street market to replenish the veggies. Saturday there is a free concert at St Merri near me. Its been two days and seems like two weeks! What a city!!
