I'm all museumed out
My favorite pic at the Marmottan museum in Paris was The Tuileries, by Claude Monet. It captured the sun and wonderfulness of my walk through the gardens a few days ago. The Marmottan was my last museum for my trip and I am quite tired out. It cost 10 euros and I got through it in under 45 mins. Great paintings by Monet and Berthe Morisot and Gustav Caillebotte. Special exhibition was Marie Laurencin and she is not really one of my favorites. When I entered the museum you had to have your bags looked into. "Vous avez beaucoup de sacs", said the guard (You have a lot of bags). Sigh...just call me the bag lady.
Getting ready to go home. Calling the taxi, checking in for the flight. Not too enthusiastic about leaving except to get a REST. And my pocketbook needs a rest too. Blow out final dinner tonight. I might get ALL the courses. For some reason, I always like what other people order better than what I order. OK, sometimes, I just order and I don't really know WHAT I am ordering. My friend keeps telling me they have a really good whatever at le Mouton blanc, where we are going tonight.
I love it when the weather forecast is WRONG. It was supposed to be raining and cold for the rest of the week, but today there has been rather a lot of sun and NO rain as of yet. I even got my Vitamin D bath.
15 minutes a day. I sat on a bench after our big lunch and before I entered the museum.
