The big event today was taking Emma to story time at the American Library over on the right bank. Again it was a cold and cloudy day, but as we approached the address the tour Eiffel popped up. Which would seem kinda hard for something that massive to do, but there it was. Actually, 29 avenue Rapp was even better. I've posted a picture of the front of the building and a close up of the entryway. It won a design competition when it was built and is an outstanding example of art nouveau architecture. Great elaborate carvings on the doors, entryway, intertwined human and floral designs, unnecessary details (see if you can spot the carved bull's heads under the lower balcony). Emma commented "its gorgeous daddy". We stopped off and purchased pan au chocolat and ate them on the way back to the metro stop. Another fine morning.
