There are lots of classical stone faces adorning buildings in Paris. It may be Zeus scowling down over the portico or perhaps a graceful muse. But this guy?
Looks like one of those Brits dying to know the cricket scores in "The Lady Vanishes"...OK, not the helmet maybe, but an ancestor of theirs, or dressed up for a fancy dress ball.
For a long time, we were just another typical Washington, DC family: two policy-oriented jobs, two kids, and two cars. Out of the blue, my husband got a new assignment; we ditched the old jobs and the cars (but kept the kids) and headed to Paris for what started out to be a three-year, and eventually became a four-year tour.

He looks like one of those veterans of La Grande Armee.
