Musée d’Orsay
Posted on Friday, December 16th, 2005 at 5:43 pm under Personal.
After a rough night adjusting ( wide awake at 5am, then slept til 3pm) to our new time here in Paris we ventured out to the Musée d’Orsay. Due to our late start, we skimmed through this museum in a couple of hours but we got to see a good portion of it. This museum hosts impressionists like Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas and Van Gogh. I was overwhelmed from the amount of work hosted here, I can’t imagine how I will feel when visiting the Louvre. The following are the pictures we took at the Museum. After that we went to the Eifflel Tower, a monument that is much more impressive in person than in pictures. But our battery had run out by then. I know, the gods of gadgetry are not smiling on me on this trip.

Found your blog… I’m glad you guys made it safely to Paris. Looks like you are having a big time. Thanks for all you did for Steve and I while we were in LA last week. Hope you have a great time there and a safe trip home.

You two look great. So excited to see the photos - I’m glad you took the laptop. Remember to charge your battery before the next outing!
We miss you two. Happy Anniversary!

As an avid follower (and someone who lived in Paris for a while), I’m glad you opted to bring the powerbook. Keep the pics comin’!
(Unfortunately I don’t have any good recommendations, as it was a long time ago that I lived there — and I can’t recall the names of any of the restaurants, etc..)
Just be sure to go to up to Sacre Coeur and check out the scenes from the city up there. No need to go to the Church unless you want to.. but I also believe there’s a Salvador Dali museum up there as well!

Such lovely photos! :) Great building. It looks so huge and massive. And the arranging must be very expensive :)
