Culture Up the Yin-Yang

I've been so busy being a tourist the past few days that I've had a hard time keeping up with the blog. We've participated in a wide range of cultural activities over the past few days (a.k.a. "Culture Up the Yin-Yang") guided by our friends--which has included a personal tour of the Louvre (by our neighbor John, a professor of Art History taking a sabbatical in Paris for the year), a clarinet concert (by fellow fulbright grantee Victor Chavez) and a guided visit of an archaeologic dig site from the 5th century in the Parisian suburbs (by my sister-in-law Laure). Each one of these fantastic activities deserves its own blog entry, but due to lack of time I'm lumping them all into one.

This weekend we're going to visit a small town called Perros-Guirec in Bretagne and hopefully swinging by Mont-St-Michel on the way, provided we don't get woefully lost on the 6-hour drive there. Details and photos to follow. For now, myself and Nir with a statue outside the Musée des Arts et Metiers in Paris. Bon weekend at tous!
