Hello friends!
Yesterday I went to the Musee D'Orsay after our early morning class. Here's what the back of the building looks like from across the Seine:
I stopped at a cafe near the museum to get some lunch, and had a rather unpleasant time there. The waiter, who spoke perfect English, got mad at me when the mean was 13.75 Euros and the credit card minimum was 15. I told him I didn't have cash and usually I would expect them to just let it slide because it's pretty close to the minimum. Instead, he told me to just pay 15 Euros! I would have told him to give me a pastry for it or something, but his attitude smelled so bad I needed to get out of there.
The museum was awesome, however. There isn't a whole lot of art there, because it's a reverted train station, but on the 5th floor there's a whole long gallery of impressionist art. I saw so much Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, Manet, and my new favorite, Camille Pissarro.
Here are some of my favorites:
And of course, I loved the dancer sculptures by Degas!
It was very nice to see all of it, and nice to have some alone time to think. Tomorrow a special guest will appear on my blog... stay tuned to find out who!!
