So…I am trying to post again today on the blog. I spent over an hour adding pics and messages to the blog last night and then somehow :/ lost all of it…ugh!!!!

I had a terrific day with my friend,Christine. She is here for a bit. We left the apartment yesterday at 1:15pm and returned at 9:45pm! We walked all over Paris and it was great! We stopped for maybe a total of an hour in that time to have coffee, wine and food. We were on the go! I have so many pictures that I am not sure what I will do with all of them. We were all over the place and it seems that every street you turn down leads you to some other interesting area. I think you could be here for months and not feel like you have seen everything you want to see. I am quite sure it would involve moving here to see and experience everything that I want to….hmmmm!! = )

Here are some pictures from yesterday. Enjoy!

Monet

Monet's studio & gardens

I worked most of yesterday so I could go play for some time today. I decided to take a bus to the lovely village of Giverny. It is about 1 1/2 hours from Paris. It also happens to be the village where Claude Monet created his works of art. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. It was great to see his studio, home and gardens. To know this was his primary inspiration for the amazing work that he created was a bit surreal for me. The countryside on the way way so green and lush already…tres belle!! What a perfect day!

Paris driving=Agnes (mom) driving

Ha! Ha! Mom, you could drive here because they just drive all over the place. It kind of reminds me of your driving!! :) I think you would fit right in around here…maybe a new career as a Parisian taxi driver is in store for you! lol

See Mom, you could drive here!

Rain, more rain & the market

The blue door is the entrance to my apartment, market on one side and cafe on the other : )

Bonjour mes amis!

I decided to cut my adventures short today considering that I am drenched! It has rained everyday that I have been here. I am really not complaining about the rain because I enjoy it. However, it does make walking around a little challenging when you are trying to simultaneously keep your umbrella from blowing away and take pictures on a camera and the iPhone. OK…get this picture…an umbrella between your knees, a camera in one hand, an iPhone in the other and whatever else you are caring you hold between your teeth…ah yes…a tourist! So much for not wanting to portray that stereotype on this adventure! : / I am smiling and laughing!

I have to comment on here just for my daughter that I did make another trip to the market. She seems to think that I am not eating over here…uh…wrong! Ashley- see pic below.

View down the street

See Ashley, they do sell food here!
