| This car above all else! |
When we came out of the hotel this morning I was surprised to see the coupe sitting at the curb since I had not called for it as we planned to walk to brunch and the Portland Art Museum, so I asked the valet. Turns out it had been there since our return yesterday afternoon.
You guessed it . . . No one could drive a manual transmission.
From there brunch and then the museum. During breakfast I had noted a number of very fancy cars driving past and wondered what they were up to.
We found out. They were parked outside PAM as part of the SCM 1000 Rally.

| This is not, of course, an original, but it is an AC, one of the continuation models from, I think, the 1990s. |

| The French thing: a modern Bugatti and a Citroen Deux Chevaux |
Finally we made it into the museum for the Paris 1900 exhibit.
 |
| The French Thing Part Deux: a frieze depicting the end of an early car race. See how neatly we tied all the day's themes together? |

| My favorite image from the exhibition. |
