| Usually this Place du Tertre is full of artists working away and hoping to sell there art. Today there were only a few hopefuls with their work covered in plastic and sitting under umbrellas. |

Montmartre in the Rain
We really had to bring out the umbrellas today. It wasn't heavy rain, just light and misty with very little visability over the city. We caught the metro up to Montmarte and walked further up the hill to Dali's Museum. I spent a couple of hours in there, it was warm and interesting. Ian went off wandering as he does and found it dry in Sacre Cour. When we met up again I was watching a man looking at a car that had completely blocked him in in a very narrow little road and I was interested to see what he would do. He soon pulled out his mobile phone, spoke and the next thing down came a young lady who chattered and laughed with him and then got in her car, backed all the way down the hill, let him out, and then drove back up again and parked in the empty spot. No one seems to get upset about things like this. They happily queue up to go into things, wait patiently in shops till it's there turn etc.
We then found a nice, warm and dry cafe for lunch before walking back down the hill through Montmartre past the various art shops and lots of other little what-not shops to the Metro almost completely disguised by lots of those little market huts. They are literally everywhere.
