After the usual breakfast I asked the clerk to help us find any
stained glass studios in the phone book. No such luck but she
did think there was one she'd seen over by the hospital. We headed
for
Musée d'Orsay. It's the old train station converted
to art. Huge open space. Got the audio guide and viewed amazing
statues 
and Impressionist paintings. Even the frames were impressive.
Had a nice brunch there. Waiters are irritating. After Monét
and the Art Nouveau stained glass 
and furniture, 
we headed over to see if
the stained glass studio was open. There had been no phone answered
at 9:00 am. When we got there, it was steel gated and looking
very run down 
and no sign of any stained glass. Certainly nothing like Cradle
of the Sun! Next we Metroed to Notre
Dame. 
Very
impressive, of course. 
We
walked back to the hotel after checking out the art vendors along
the Seine. We wandered up St. Germain and had dinner at a down-steps-place,
La Campanule, that we were beckoned into. Then we walked home
passing a series of camping stores. They had an outlet on at
least five corners. I did some "rock climbing".
