Monday morning was very leisurly. I wrote and mailed some postcards. Went to the Post Office and spoke entirely in French to the woman behind the counter. I got the stamps and instructions as where to mail them and we both smiled and said bonne journee which means have a good day. Then I headed off to the Delacroix museum. I took the metro to St. Germaine des Pres and decided to have lunch. I found a table at Cafe Deux Magots and quickly sat down as theu were extremely busy. I had a croque monsieur and a piece of chocolat cake. The croque monsieur was good but the chocolat cake was "to die for". After lunch I visited the Delacroix museum. Spent about 1 1/2 hours there then back on the metro and over to the Marais district to see the Place de Vosges. Walked through it and then hit a cafe for a cafe creme and to people watch. I walked back to the apartment to meet Ladee and Tina for a farewell to Paris dinned at le Tir Bouchon. My meal was escargot, salmon with mozzarlla cheese and creme brulee for dessert. See
