Jazz Exhibit

I can't believe my trip is almost done - and I am not ready to leave. There is just so much to do, all the time, and Sam and I have been walking to everything. Morgan left for LA a few days ago, I moved back into their place, and after having her move here almost 11 years ago, it is so nice to spend the time together. 

Eight of us met up for dinner at an African restaurant Friday, and then made plans to all drive up to Normandy on Saturday to go look at Aunt Mimi's house on the beach. But the weather turned cold and rainy and we went to the Jazz Exhibit at the Musse Quai Branly instead. It was really an amazing collection, and as a former graphic designer, I loved the album covers and posters. They also had a jazz band playing so have some great photos to work from - been dying to do some trombone and sax painintgs.

The shopping is what they all say it is- just wonderful. I keep having to remind myself though that  the "layers" they are showing here are not condusive to Charleston climate in May. If you come to Paris though, check out the store "Merci" on the Rue Bon Marche. It is a very funky, three story store, with a florist and coffee shop on the first floor, housewears in the basement, and retro clothing mixed with designer wear on the top floors.

Tomorrow is my final adventure - painting at Giverney. We are getting up early to take the train to go see the wonderful gardens and house of Monet. avoir pour mein te nent!
