In Paris!!!! Je suis a Paris!!!!! with Naomi and having a great if exhausting time seeing lots and lots and lots of art. And Nomes is very impressed with my (limited) French!!!!!

So far we have been to the Musee d'Orsay, Musee Cluny, Lourve, L'Orangerie and the Musee Marmotten - where I saw the study for Caillebotte's Paris on a Rainy Day!!!!! We have also seen Olympia, Le Petite Dejuener, Monet's waterlillies and heaps more. Have also been to the Pompidou Centre = lots of more modern and contemporary art ....

Hiya Elizabeth

Heard from the NAS lib girls you where having a ball and had to see for meself - keep trucking it looks fabulous!

Please do me a favour and visit the Thyssen Bornesza Museum in Madrid - Akyria is showing there and he rocks. There collection is also magic. Just in case you don't know you can get a pass for all three major museums Prado reiner sofa and Thyssen which can save you some bucks in the short term. Please consume as much roja and tapas as physically possible whilst in Madrid - we're counting on you! love Susie :)
