Thursday I explored the ancient streets of Dijon, admiring the architecture and imagining what life was like there in the 1600 and 1700’s. I visited several museums, and at the Musée de la vie Bourguignonne I got stuck behind a local group of senior citizens on an outing. The guide’s stories about life in old Burgundy were interesting, so I decided to tag along. The seniors were really cute – they whispered excitedly among themselves in French about the objects on display, and I could clearly hear the voice of my own parents saying, “That’s an antique? We used to have one of those when I was a child!”.
