Though most everything else at the Cognacq-Jay Museum was elaborately decorated with gold and gems, I kind of liked this simple blue porcelain cat. The museum made a good place to get away from the heavy rain of the morning, and by the time we came out, the sky had cleared. Of course after such an educational morning, Jody and I quickly hit the nearby shops to avoid slacking off those francs spent per day. Proof of purchase is this photo of Jody at the apartment showing off her new rosebud ring to our friend Joseph.
