Paris is Art

Today is my last in Paris until I return with our tour group at the end of July.

It's been a crazy day and I've just got in the door at 1:30am and I have to be up at 4am to catch my 4:30am cab.

Rachel, my host, wants to do work on her computer and we share a cable, so for me this is au revoir for now.

I will leave you with images of this great city, which is by far the home of art... as you would know from last Sunday's sentence.

Until tomorrow, remember that life itself is art.

PS. The painting top right (yes it is a painting) was one that I saw walking past a window in the Place des Vosges. If I had the cash, I'd probably own it by now. I love it!
