It's been raining all day. I had plans to go to the farmers market and the flea market, but then decided to save that for another day and do something inside. Instead I joined some friends and went to the Musee d'Orsay. I took a few photos, even though we weren't supposed to. Dad, I must get that trait from you... remember the Vatican or the David??
These are the weird light fixtures at the museum cafe
Renoir
Monet, or as a silly little kid in a Colorado shirt next to me called him, "The old Claudster"
Van Gogh
Portrait of the artist
This room was gorgeous. My friend and I came to the conclusion that it is the ballroom from Beauty and the Beast. It has a big balcony and a fantastic view of Paris
I didn't get any photos of the Seurat exhibit, but pointillism is incredible to look at up close. He's definitely one of my favorite artists.
Well seeing as how it is still pouring I doubt I'll do anything in the city tonight. The 80 year old inside of me is super excited to go to bed early! I feel like I've been going going going ever since landing at the airport. I could use a relaxing night in.
Hi Megan! Looks amazing so far! Glad everything is going so well- beautiful there! I was cleaning thru my paperwork and found your blog address! Everything is great at home!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it all! Make sure you eat a chocolate crescent for Phil! He ate at least 2 every day when we were there for the Tour De France!
Loved the ball room! And I agree with Jud, you definitely can't leave Paris with out trying a chocolate crescent!
ReplyDeleteBummer on all the rain, but you made the most of it! Very cool sight seeing!
