Farid Mohammadi immortalized it on video to bring you the star-studded Texas Nafas program in July. Cold and intermittent rain, anything from drizzle to pouring cats and dogs and temperatures dipping to wearing lined rain coats. In rain we go to the Louvre, to the Maillol Museum with the art teacher. The Maillos Museum is housed in a beautiful, restored 16th century building. A favorite activity of Parisians is to go to their museums and wonder alone or with friends discussing in under tones, drinking in beauty someone once sketched and painted for them.
Poetry readings arouse interest as well, people stop and listen with interest and respect.
The Paris American Academy has us rushing with so many activities, that it takes our breath away. Well, one can always wear big beads. The day begins with a giant picnic for seventeen thousand in Luxemburg Garden. Everyone brings his own food and if so inclined, shares it with others. Paper napkins, etc. are furnished.
