Rockin’ Ride to Rodin

Needing a to rest our weary legs as we were walking to the Rodin Museum, a Paris bicycle-taxi driver offered his services. We accepted, foolishly not agreeing to a fee right away. Upon entering his chariot, the driver asked, “You like music?” He spoke in a heavy Eastern European accent (later telling us he was from Romania.)

I replied “Oui, I like music!”

“I have music!” he said through a wide grin.

Our lean and lanky driver then dialed his boombox to “11” and and away we went – pedaling thru the busy Paris streets along the Left Bank, and blasting Techno, Rap and Club music, while Linda danced.

Once we arrived at our destination, our new Romanian friend definitely over-charged us, Linda says “we got taken for a ride, twice!” But it was worth it.!

More pictures from the Rodin later.. The museum was  wonderful.

Bande à Part (1964) – Dance Scene

In less than 10 days, we’ll be in Paris – the City of Lights. Will we meet up with Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina dancing The Madison in a Paris cafe?

Peut être.

We will certainly encounter Jim DeLillo and his lovely ballerina/wife Shirley in the south of France, where our friends have vacationed in the small village of Venasque for the past 20 years.

Can’t wait.
