Bonjour! Travelista and the rest of her trio here and today was gorgeous! Forcast: cool with plenty of sunshine. We began our day walking along the Champs Elysees and then decided to trek all the way to the Eiffel Tower...so magical! After our nice stroll we went to Musee d'Orsay right on the Left Bank. The museum used to be an old railway station and has an impressive collection of impressionist works by Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne, and many others. I even found Monet's Lady with an Umbrella, which my great-grandfather painted for me when I was little.
We realized it was already past 3:00 and we had not stopped for a bite to eat. The bistro we had picked was closed so we opted for our hotel. To our delight, we discovered our own secret garden to dine in! We did not even feel like we were in the middle of a big city. Just like the movie says, "if you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden." Maybe all we have to do is stop and take time to smell the roses, and that way enjoy the little things in life! Au revoir, Travelista
