Friday, August 28
This morning we met our French teacher at a boulangerie at the end of the Cours Mirabeau. The school treated us to breakfast. The caveat was that we had to order in French and we had written quiz to further strengthen our French. I don't know how I got out of there without taking a photo of the showcases or of the pasteries! I had my favorite palmier. I love the cafe au lait; Judy wish it came in a 20 ounce to- go cup!
There is a large temporary iron sculpture at the end of the Cours Mirabeau. I couldn't find out who did it or where it came from, but it makes quite a statement This has become a good meeting place for our group.
After class Elizabeth and I had a quick lunch at a Small diner near the school and then went to another gallery which is an annex of the Musee Granet. The 17th century building was originally a Carmelite chappel, but has been converted specifically to exhibit the collection of Jean Planque. At one time it served as art studios for the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.

I liked this Picasso painting. Not usually a fan of Picasso.
At 6:00 we met our entire group again for Friday night drinks and to get a schedule for the upcoming week. Since we had had lunch, dinner became two glasses of red wine topped off with a stop at the gelateria on the walk home. I'm hoping that can translate to some kind of acceptable nourishment!
