Just as I took Skippy out for his last walk of the day.....along came a lovely procession of priests, nuns and pilgrims singing a capella, a beautiful, mellow hymn, and carrying aloft on shoulders a beautiful golden statue of the Virgin Mary wearing a lace cape and jeweled crown.
They carried her right up to the Basilica, right through the throng of people going in and out of the bistros. There was a slight hush as she passed by, then the clink of glasses and the chatter grew once again.
Living here on rue Beaumanoir, one sees the most extraordinary sites. (alas, no camera this time)
