Morning work and a little shopping

I spent much of the morning writing and, a bit later, attending once again to my presentation for the conference on Thursday. I am at the point now where I have to cut some stuff to be sure I don't go too long. But that shouldn't be tough to do. Around 1:00, I went to the grocery store and then headed downtown.
My mission was really to experience some of the hustle and bustle of downtown on a busy Saturday. And I was not disappointed. The shops on the pedestrian street and througout the Latin Quarter were full of people.
Like most, I rode a bike here. Once secured with a little back wheel lock, all but the fanciest machines are safe. Not the case in the States.
After picking up a little something for the loved ones, I headed back to the office at ASB to work to finish up the study abroad report draft so it can be in circulation during the coming week. Tomorrow I plan to work most of the day on the mediation/visualization paper, give the conference talk one last tightening, and then make a big pot of pasta e fagioli with the nice produce (and bacon!) I bought at the grocery this morning. That should last me a couple of days.
