Musee D'Orsay and more

A favorite in 1996, and here it is again. Peter and John are running to the tomb early on Sunday morning... can it be true? Is He risen??

Besides the usual favorites.. a few new ones took my fancy. I think Tolouse-Lautrec caught her attitude in lady with black boa... lots of information in her eyes.
A special exhibit of work by Jules Bastien-Lepage was excellent.. the old working grandfather and the young'un joyfully discovering the meadow.
A different scene than usual by Van Gogh inside his asylum in Arles.
Time continues to tick along.. again, what are we doing here??

A 20+ piece brass band letting it loose by the campus on Easter Monday. Lots of fun - Sorry, I did not purchase the CD. Nice to have dinner out with John & Kathy Stoessel last night.. in English! Chris off to Poitiers.

Karli & I went to the Musee D'Orsay and it was one of my favorite places in Paris. I loved all the Monet's in there. There is nothing to compare to it here on this continent.

Another fabulous thing we did was take a night time boat tour on the Seine. It was just awesome.

Paris in the spring AAAWWWWEEE!!!!!

VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB time!

Before she left, Jane was reading Adam Gopnick's "Paris to the Moon" so now I am, and it's wonderful.

The guy's a gracious, allusive and penetrating writer and the subject matter is invigorating, at small and large scales.

So I think the Club should read it and comment.

Jane, you seen anything yet that puts you in mind of the book, other than specific locales?

Just wondering.
