I've spent the last few days here in Portland repairing many of the Moroccan items which I shipped home from Fes. Anything that could have been broken in transit was. I've restored the stained glass panels in the brass lamp, replaced the shattered glass in the mirrors, and glued the ceramic urns. The silver tea set still has some bent edges. The rugs arrived unharmed, and the camel-leather "poufs" have now been stuffed with cotton batting. The house is slowly being Moroccanized.

Today's pictures are of the Notre Dame cathedral, taken on Christmas eve.
