Salvage from the Wreckage

By NickMogToo

A light meal

Last day in Paris and H had the day off. We had tickets for the Atelier des Lumières. But first we had to walk Dino as a favour to Jean-Francois. JF was off for the day getting a new puppy. He said that it would be the worst day of Dino’s life! Abandoned and then losing his only child status!

Dino is a Chihuahua-Pug cross and is as attractive as that sounds. We took him to meet Christian and Kuki. Paris is full of young men with tiny dogs who take their dogs and laptops to cafes.

On the way back, I had to pick up Chihuahua shit. Possibly the lowest point of my entire life.

Then off to the 11th to see the light show. Which took a long time to start. And then didn’t start. Technical difficulties. We decided to have s pizza in the place where H, C and I ate after the last light show we saw. Oxymore. Great pizza and, for the same price as a pizza, you could have a Cafe Gourmand- three small desserts and a coffee. We weren’t going to but, as the waiter said - it’s free!

Then, a check of the website revealed that the technical difficulties had been resolved so we went back to the AdL. Really good show. Paintings from Monet to Chagall brought to life in projections with a good soundtrack as a bonus.
Back to the apartment in time to head off to the Gare du Nord and say goodbye to H. It was a lovely few days and I was sorry to say goodbye.

Back in London to meet up with C and M and my second Italian meal of the day!
