The dilema is to complete my blog or get in all the site seeing. Friday was a little more relaxing but I did a lot. Lisa and I went first on the hop on hop off bus and saw sites along the green hop on hop off pass. our pass is good for 3 days starting today where as our museum pass is good only through tomorrow, saturday. Our plan was to take the first route of the hop on hop off and then get off at the d'orsay museum. That went quite well as we saw the Grand Paris tour. had a small lunch and then to the Orsay museum, The grand Paris tour included a naration of what we were looking at and those sites were, the opera, Pont neuf, Concorde, Champ-Elysees, Eifle tower, Madeleine, des Invalides. I will go into detail on these sites later. We got home about 7:30 as the Orsay closed at 6 and the bookstore closed at 630. The musee d'Orsay was wonderful and the museum is devoted to the painters of the 1800's and early 1900. The periods covered are the Realist, Naturalist, Impressionist, neo impressionist, faubism, pointilism, cubism. We paid extra for the auto guides but they were well worth it and I learned a lot. The museum was not crowded and it is well layed out. better than the Louve, not as big and new. I do not believe tourist realize how spectacular is this museum. Well we did not see it all and we both need to go back to see the top floor that displays more of Monet's water lillies.
Today is the last day of my museum pass and i want to see three museums before 6. write more later.
