1 More Full Day To Go In Paris

Hello again everyone. We have just finished our fifth full day in the most romantic city in the world. Today I visited the Musée d'Orsay, home of the world famous Impressionist artists. The Museum is located within full view of the Louvre. The pieces from Monet, Manet, and Van Gogh are breathtaking in person. Having taken an art class at Kean back home, I had a few paintings that I was looking foward to seeing, such as Renoir's Bal au moulin de la Galette Montmartre. It was worth the 45 minute wait to get inside. Ashley and I took the Metro to Madeline and saw a McDonalds. Seeing the golden arches practically brought tears to my eyes...almost. I had a Royal Deluxe which is kind of like a quarter pounder with some kind of sauce. We then took the Metro to the Père Lachaise Cemetery and visited the grave sites of Jim Morrison, Frederic Chopin, and Georges Seurat. Since we are pretty big Doors fans, we said a few words to Jim and I told him to" rock on". I am very tired and missing my favorite places to eat back home like Friday's. I'm really happy we had great weather all week and that i was lucky to have seen all the places that Paris has to offer. I am not looking foward to to the flight home but will be happy to see the States again. Au revoir ami!
