Activity 1: Gallery Lafayette to browse shoes.  Nothing found under 150 euro, not worth it.

Activity 2: Spent 3 hours in the Musée d’Orsay.  Definitely my favorite all-around museum.  I could spend a week there. In the train painting by Monet, the train station used to delay trains so he could finish his sketches and paintings. Some pieces I liked in particular:

Henri Edmond Cross - Les Isles d'Or - The Golden Isles

Monet - Le Fare Saint-Lazare

Hector Guimard - wild green chair - so Nouveau

Eugene Vallin - Mobilier de Chambra

And some things from the temporary, awesome Art Nouveau exhibit:

Art Nouveau at the Musee d'Orsay - giant fly and a green room

Art Nouveau at the Musee d'Orsa - Allen Jones chair

Art Nouveau at the Musee d'Orsa - Allen Jones table

Fantastic.  Then I met a friend, walked around and had a pâté sandwich. So heavy.

Later, the Paris Ballet in its last night. Box seats. It was actually quite good. Three acts, Ruby, Diamond, and something else.  The names don’t matter.  What matters was that I actually liked it! Wow, weird. Videos! Technology, wow. Also, the ceiling was painted by Marc Chagall. Really neat.

And after, we all watched France cheat Ireland out of a win.  Ahhh the Hand of God.
