      Seine walk and Musée d’Orsay

      28. maj, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Jet lag is a mindset!!! (Kidding, we are very tired but powered through). Such an exciting day getting to share my favourite museum and restaurant in Paris with Thomas. ❤️ A highlight for us today was all the incredibly friendly and helpful locals that made our transition day go swimmingly.Læs mere

      Travel Day 3: Art in Paris

      16. maj 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 46 °F

      I KNOW. A photo (or a postcard or a print) won’t do them justice, but here’s some of the art that moved me today.
      1. I stumbled on the Tunnel des Tuileries by accident this morning. I saw hundreds of peie on bicycles today. This tunnel is covered in art - this was one of my favorites.
      2. L’Air du Soir, Henri-Edmond Cross
      3. A different version of Starry Night. I think this was painted before the famous one at MOMa, before he became so ill.
      4. I don’t know what this is; it was at the Musee D’Orsay in the cafe where I had lunch. I liked all of the women musicians.
      5. This is so life-like in person! Chrysanthèmes dans un vase, Henri Fantin-Latour
      6. Mosaic feature on random building
      7. Le Faune dansant, Eugène-Louis Lequesne in the Jardin du Luxembourg
      8. Le Poète - Hommage à Paul Éluard, also in Luxembourg Gardens      Læs mere

      Paris pt1

      5. marts, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      Paris is so nice!! I have no idea what everyone's been complaining about everything's clean, nothing smells, there's no crazy or homeless people and I've felt totally safe the entire time. We caught an overnight bus here from Amsterdam and arrived at 7am. We quickly dropped our stuff off at the hostel and then got breakfast at a bakery. I got a raisin snail and a pain de chocolat which were both super flakey and buttery, I was so happy. We ate our pastries outside a Cafe and chilled there for a good 30 minutes while we settled in. While we were eating I noticed a lot of the girls here wear their blush really weird, they're all going for a super rosey cheek look but it kinda looks like a little kid did it for them ahaha. After breakfast we went into the city center to check out the museum d'orsay. We chose this over the Louvre because it has lots of Vincent van gogh and also I was pretty keen on going to the place they went in doctor who that time. Honestly we were probably a bit too sleep deprived for the museum, it was a bit of a slog to get through it all but it was worth it for the van gogh stuff coz that was sick. For lunch we got some baguettes and more pain de chocolats and then went to see the eiffel tower. I think its time I finally accept that I'm scared of heights because walking up the eiffel tower stairs was terrifying. We didn't take the lift all the way to the top because it was super expensive but the view from halfway was still awesome. After the eiffel tower we walked to the Arc de triamphe and then went home for a quick nap. For dinner we went to a super busy restaurant that our salt mine friend in krakow recommended. We had to line up for an hour to get in but the food was really nice so it was worth the wait. The highlights of the meal were definitely the snails and red wine which were both so delicious. The snails tasted exactly like gnocchi, I'm going to try and see if I can get them in Perth coz they'd be a great vegetarian option to put in pasta or salads. The restaurant didn't sell frog legs so after we finished our snails and wine we went to another one that did. The second restaurant was pretty fancy amd super expensive but we were a bit drunk at this point so money was no object. The frogs legs were outstanding, even better than the snails, they were so buttery and garlicy and just fell off the bone. One thing that's been a constant gripe for us on this trip is that restaursnts never give us enough bread with our food but this one kept refilling our basket which made us super happy. We were so grateful for the bread decided to stay a while and order some french cheeses for dessert, which was also amazing too. At this point in the night we were really feeling the Paris spirit and were super in love with the city so we went to see the eiffel tower and Arc de triamphe again. We were super lucky because we got to the eiffel tower only 10 minutes before they shut the lights off for the night, it was such a nice view seeing the Paris lights behind the tower im so happy we decided to make the journey.
      The next morning we went to the same bakery as the day before but got baguettes which tasted amazing and then quickly checked out the sacred heart basilica before heading off to the airport. Also have to mention I got a hot choc at a Cafe while we waited for the shuttle to the airport and it cost me $10!?!?!      Læs mere

    • RejsendeDavid and Sean’s Camino
      Dag 40

      Final Thoughts

      11. juli 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

      Our “formal” Camino is done. Sean and I received our compostelas (diplomas) both for the halfway and full journey and we have returned home safely where we are catching up on our sleep.

      So, what did we take away from our Camino?

      My goals were to draw closer to God, draw closer to Sean, and to have a grand adventure. And all of those goals were met and exceeded long before we ended our trek. What I did not expect was the friendships that we made along the way; especially Brian and Michelle Coleman, Brandon from Houston, Lucas and Maria from Brazil, Richard “the Gentle Giant” from Los Angeles, and many others whose names I have either forgotten or never knew.

      Sean’s goal was to be there for me and boy did he meet and exceed that goal! He was as patient and faithful a companion as I could have asked for and I would never have gotten as far as I did or enjoyed the journey as much as I did without his presence.

      Most pilgrims will tell you that the Camino is a reflection of life. It has many of the same qualities: ups and downs (quite literally!), joys and sorrows, successes and failures, surprises and disappointments. But it is also much quieter than life. No trash to take out, no work to go to or deadlines to meet. Mostly void of the rush of traffic and the noise of cities. It is a time to slow down and reflect.

      Sean and I were blessed to have this time together and I suspect that as we gain distance from our journey we will find that we have gained knowledge and insights that we don’t yet recognize. I pray that’s true.

      We have many people to thank. Nancy for supporting our going and for handling many logistical details for my dialysis. Harrison for handling some travel details when we found ourselves without a way home when we ended earlier than expected. My nephrologist for supporting this effort. The people who followed this blog and offered encouragement along the way—it was greatly appreciated! And most especially, God, for answering many, many prayers and for giving us the strength, endurance, and wisdom that we asked and prayed for.

      We all walk the Camino. Every day. It may not be as quiet as the one we experienced but we still have the opportunity to draw closer to God, draw closer to the ones we love and to support them, to have a grand adventure, and to be blessed with friends and as friends.

      I wish each of you Buen Camino and pray that God blesses your journey and your pilgrimage in life!      Læs mere

      A sunny day to go to the MO.

      7. marts, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

      I promised myself I’d play tourist for a day. After the disaster of the archives, it will recharge my batteries. Today is my favorite museum—the Musée d’Orsay. I like to walk across the Tuileries to get to the museum. It’s always pleasant. I was stunned again at the flooding. It made me wonder about how much water flooded Paris in 1910. That flood jumped the banks of the Seine and went all the way up to the Gare St Lazare. No wonder people freaked out!Læs mere

      Musee d’Orsay - Thurday night

      15. september 2022, Frankrig ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      After wandering around Tuileries Garden we headed over to Musee d’Orsay - Bronwyn had noticed that they had a special reduced entry for Thursday evening so we decided to take advantage along with hundreds of other tourists and locals. Musee d’Orsay used to be a train station which has been transformed into a wonderful museum - one of my favourites. There have been extensive renovations since we last visited in 2009, including a greatly expanded Impressionist and Post-Impressionist exhibition on the 5th floor, and a wonderful and very funky restaurant. Many paintings we had not seen before.

      There were a couple of pieces, which are a temporary exhibition - a painting and brass statues by the African American artist, Kehinde Wiley from LA. These pieces were so powerful and evoked strong emotions as they had a theme of the oppression of African Americans. As a side note, Kehinde was the first African American Artist to be commissioned to paint a portrait of an American president. He painted a portrait of Barack Obama for the Smithsonian in 2018.

      Cuore sciolto per Van Gogh 💗

      Van Gogh è il mio artista preferito in assoluto, poter vedere le sue opere dal vivo è stato bellissimo ❤️ l'unico rammarico è stato non poter vedere la notte stellata che si trova a New York (e a cui ho dedicato un tatuaggio)Læs mere

      Kate and the impressionists

      1. juli 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Went on a Parisian bakery adventure in the morning for pane au chocolate and escargot! Then we checked out of the air bnb, and headed to the Musee d'Orsay to spend a few hours before our train to Bordeaux in the early evening. I saw all the paintings from the Katie and the Impressionists book hahaha The impressionists were remarkable in real life and we found some cool new artists to get excited about too! We hid from the rain under a bridge next to the Seine to eat a very French lunch before heading back to the main train station to head on to Bordeaux 🚄Læs mere

      Dramatic day at D’Orsay

      8. juni 2023, Frankrig ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

      Bonjour!

      Today was yet another long one (and hasn’t even ended).

      First, I woke up. Second, I went to class. Third, I grabbed a baguette with ham and cheese. And fourth, I went back to the hotel.
      Now here is where it gets interesting.

      Our pysch class planned to go to D’Orsay, but that was a little more difficult than expected. The metro we were on seemingly shut down. We sat there for a while and contemplated our options. Eventually, we decided to take a different metro to a different stop and catch a different train on the same line we were trying to ride. We arrived, the metro arrived, we boarded, and then the metro stopped. After some French announcements over the loudspeakers, no one moved so neither did we. Eventually, the metro started moving. Thank the lord.

      The rest of the day was much smoother. I really enjoined the museum and had a lot of fun looking at all the different art. My favorite art was probably Monet’s. I love his use of color and texture to create images; it’s different than other art I’ve seen. A lot of his art used Ariel perspective to create depth. Instead of using haze or shadows to add contrast, he simply changes the colors that he uses. This can be seen in the bridge painting where the space behind the bridge is much darker. The tour was ended with some gelato (and wine), shopping, and a much more successful metro home.

      Now, I am tired. Super tired. Not sure what my dinner plans so I shall see where the night takes me.

      Au revoir!      Læs mere
