This morning we went to the Cluny Museum (Le museum de la moyen age). The Cluny features the Lady and the Unicorn tapistry, which was nice to see, and is built on top of Roman baths that were almost two thousand years old. I really enjoyed that part since I'm from California where old things were built in 1960. I've had some thoughts about that about our apartment, which was only built in 1902. The idea that there would be an entirely different mindset to a culture with very old things that were updated and repaired rather than totally destroyed. How do you mix building materials and techniques from 1784 with fiber optic internet cable or Wi-Fi? to say nothing of older innovations like plumbing and electricity. We took the higher speed metro (RER) and for some reason the descent seemed eternal - escalator after escelator going down and down. More work. I took my French Life and Culture class out and about our neighborhood so they'd have some idea of where the grocery store is, where to find bread, go jogging and the like. They seemed to enjoy it, although some of them have really been getting around.
