    The Russian artist is Alexander Serebriakoff. I enlarged his name on the Montparnasse work and googled it…I like the images you showed of his work.
    Sad to know these are your last days as it has been a terrific time to read and see, this year, again.
    Love your new purse!
    Are you going to blog your trip to Norway ( I think it was) later this year?

      Thank you for the name of the artist! I knew someone would figure it out! We are hoping our side trip next year with Bernie’s cousins will be Norway!

    Your new shoes are really cute, and not at all what we usually see from Ecco. Why can’t we find these cute but comfy styles in the US?? Bernie’s photo of the cathedral dome is great! Kudos to him!

      Merci, Peggy! Yes, the Eccos are distinctly Paris.

    I enjoyed your photos and agree about the Eccos. They are my favorite brand for walking but I have not found any as pretty as yours!

    Great photos of St. Vladimir’s and adore the shoulder purse! It looks so pretty against your white dress and dark belt.

    Recently I’ve been pointing out to Clive on the metro different bags with the link/’chain’ straps — very fashionable 🙂 Putting Han/Les Nguyen on my list – merci!

    Cheers and enjoy the cooler (!?!) temps.

    We think the ornate piece is just called a chandelier with icons. (Monica went to Orthodox services for a year in the 1970s.) Your accounts of daily tours are all so fascinating, and Bernie’s photography enhances everything.

      Merci for the information. I started to call it a chandelier but didn’t want to appear stupid if it had a special name. Glad you have enjoyed!

    Enjoyed seeing all the icons and beautiful art. Jim collected Russian icons at one time, I think. The dessert is a Wow! We are suffering in 90 degree weather as well. But as air conditioning made the South, not melting as in Paris.

      Today has been like a steam bath. It rained just a little this morning and then the heat moved in with very high humidity. Ugh!
