I know it’s been a while since my last post, but I have a very good excuse: my husband and I have been in France! We left home early on July 14, which was pretty appropriate, since it’s the French national holiday. We landed the next day and met my twin sister and her husband at the airport, then went to their home in a suburb of Paris called Rueil-Malmaison.
We relaxed and visited for the rest of the day, but the following day we went into Paris. We’d hoped to go to the catacombs (it’s cool there, and the weather was pretty hot), but the lines were simply too long.
Instead we went to l’Orangerie to see the enormous waterlily paintings done by Monet; I’ve always loved his work. 🙂 This photo may give you some idea of their size.
From there we went to the Orsay Museum to see more Impressionist works, and this is a view of the inside of the huge clock there; this was a train station at one time.
That’s all for today! I’ll show more in the days to come.
