Wednesday, Oct 6
This was to be our day of rest and recuperation. We've come from a busy week in London and Mike & Anna, Robb & Cindy have come from days in Normandy. After a leisurely morning, we discovered by accident that there was to be a scheduled museum strike on Thursday. So, we adapted. Instead of a relaxing afternoon, we decided to start the museum march....... We began with the d'Orsay.
A rainstorm moved in that afternoon and we all got good and wet.
The d'Orsay is in a converted train station. This is the sculpture 'garden'. They have a wonderful impressionist collection but my cold was really getting me down so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have liked. However, Dan had a revelation - after walking through a couple rooms of impressionist art, he told me he now understands my art style and preferences. An aha moment!
The lock bridge - I thought they were going to take them all off, but it hasn't happened yet. And locks are appearing on other bridges as well - it may be a losing battle.
We have added lots of interesting door photos to our collection.
End of our second day - and we rested up for a hectic day tomorrow.
