Cloudy = crypts? Thurs Feb 2

Woke up fairly early this morning, cloudy for the first time since last week - decided going to the notre dame crypts would be the appropriate thing to see before studio at 2. took a while wandering there, stopped in a few stores, nothing to buy particularly. they have VERY cute shoes here, and the sales only last until Feb 21... haha maybe I will determinedly go shopping at some point. Wandered into Notre Dame des Victories, a nice little church. Very stripped-down facade and matter-of-fact interior, I liked it. Side chapel archways were paved in donor stone, gave a nice feel of people. Crypts were rather disappointing, I was thinking grave crypts and creepiness, but instead they were archeological digs in this one particular spot... cool, just not what I expected. Neat to be under a huge plaza and see the actual previous foundations and walls on the original levels, some from the third century ad, preserved and built over. Evidences of the island ending at that point - kind of crazy. Also walked through Notre-Dame again, got some big-picture shots I'd forgotten to get last time. This pic is the front modern altar with the traditional one in the back - so this is about 3/4 up the nave.

grocery shopping on the way to studio, baugette, Camembert cheese, hardboiled egg sandwiches. fun to pick things up at their own little store, bread and cheese, meat if I was going to do that.
I think I've official switched boulangeries - our delightfully crabby french lady in the red store makes comparatively small and crusty baugettes with useless pointed ends... the blue one with the friendlier but english speaking lady has cheaper, bigger, softer loaves, earlier on our walk to studio... we have the option of 5 bread shops on the way, these are on the fun market street though. hehe so it goes ;). we thought maybe the red store lady had connections with the apparently mob (men in suits outside at very late hours, hmmm) building on the marche cadet as well... sigh. ha I should work on studio... too many details writing about the current day
