Last night we had dinner at Henriette's, the 4 of us. Rose loved the potatoes and gobbled up her fish. Henriette gave her some crayons and coloring books which she seemed to really enjoy too. Today we took the metro to the Jardin des Plantes to go to the zoo. The 2nd oldest zoo in the world, built in the 1790s. The place was chock full of kids and was amazingly ethnically diverse with lots of mothers in colorful African garb, or Arabic headdresses, and mixed classes of all ethnicities. Pretty cool. After a thorough exploration of the zoo we went to the Grand Mosque for lunch. I had an amazing tagine of lamb, peppers, olives, tomatoes, onions and cinnamon couscous. And, of course, tons of mint tea.
Spent the afternoon getting ready for the plane trip tomorrow: packing, shopping for the plane, making sandwiches....Tonight Lucie's friends Laetitia and Jerome are coming over to join Julie and Rose for pizza.
