WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Monet's House and Garden, Giverny, France


     We arrived by boat and were transferred by bus, but you can easily come by car from Paris. It is not far. I nice ride along the Seine and ample parking.
     The house is lovely and one can look out the windows on the gardens with their water features. It is pretty and one can see why Monet painted it. 
     When in Paris, you must stop at the  Musée de l'Orangerie. The museum has very large (surrounding) paintings of the water lilies at different seasons of the year. This, in my opinion, is one of the best museums in Paris along with the Picasso. The others are so big and full of people that it is difficult to see the art, although you would not wish to go to Paris without a stop at the Louvre. (Hint: use the Carousel entrance as it is rarely crowded and the lines are shorter. )  My granddaughter, at 12 years of age, loved the Impressionists and Pablo too.
