Ok so I knew it was wrong. But Chris said it would be ok since I was injured yesterday. And I knew that is not an excuse, but we still used our 4 day museum pass for a 5^th day and went to the Orsay museum to see the Impressionists. Please don’t tell God or the French government I lied.

Orsay was a very pretty museum, not just because of the artwork that it held, but also because of the location. It used to be a train station. We saw Manets, Monets, Van Goghs, Rembrandts, etc. My favorite Monets were here like the waterlillies and the painting of that bridge at giverny. Also saw VanGogh and the room he painted at Arles, France. (I think that is where he went crazy and cut off his own ear). You gotta love that. It was fabulous. I wish we had more time here but basically we just ended up running around with the camera and taking pics and video. I am sure it looks silly on film, probably also looked silly in person.
