Recently we've been into oldies music, especially from 1940s to 1980s music ! Around midnight here, there is an oldies music station on TV and Ray has been enjoying watching it almost every night.  And since a few days ago, some of the music I heard from it has been spinning in my head,  and one of them is Saturday night by Bay City Rollers which was a huge hit in 1976 !   Bay City Rollers - Saturday Night ('76)      It's so great to easily be able to watch an old generation's music and the musicians singing live !    And I appreciate modern high technology which allows this.

Actually there is another Cafe which has crepes we were interested in and we wanted to go to that place but they were closed so we went to Café Marcel which also has many 5 star reviews. I haven't eaten crepes since I was still living in Japan, and almost forgot about it but after seeing some figure skaters who were in Japan for an ice show were tweeting and showing a photo of them with crepes, which looked so yummy. So I was craving for crepes since then. Café Marcel is located in University area where there are many students. We have never been to this particular area before.  We discovered this area seems pretty safe to walk around, a University students walking area.  We found there are many pretty shops to look around. There was no other customer in the store, maybe because it was business day around 3 PM, ...
