Geo Caching

This morning we took a nice walk through Paris in search of a web based geocache. We went through the 12th, 3rd, and 4th arrondonsments. Paris is a beautiful city with wonderful architecture. Even though we never found the cache, it was an enjoyable stroll through Paris on a lovely day.

Later on I went to a museum to a museum devoted to 65 Monet's donated by his son. www.marmottan.com/uk/

The most famous painting in the muse is his masterpiece Impression.....the painting which started the Impressionism movement. It's interesting to see the differences in his early and later works in one place.

Many of the canvas have unfinished areas ...these must have been paintings that Monet kept for himself. You can really see the beginning of Abstract Expressionism in some of his later paintings. There were many Waterlillies painted in different shades of blue. It was also interested in seeing his palette.

I'll post up some photos soon!
