HisOnlyness: Wanderluster

Breakfast: Pan au chocolate and quiche with salmon and broccoli.  Must try to make this.

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

The cousins are back in town and that can only mean one thing: adventure – or at least some fun.  We started the day off right with a croissant from Paul (a patisserie I later found out is a chain store – but it’s okay) and coffee on top of the giant department store, Printemps.  Definitely do this.  It gives you a great feel for where everything is in the city.

Next stop, the Musée du Quai Branly to see the Teotihuacán exhibit. (more…)
