PARIS
I can only call this place enchanted. As we visit Musee D’Orsay, Musee De L’Orangerie, and The Louvre I come out feeling like the structure of my cells has changed from the satiation of beauty of viewing the masters’ artworks. Especially loved are Monet, Degas, Renoir, Da Vinci and Van Gogh. Striding the streets of Paris, the stairs of L’Arc D‘Triomphe or strolling Pont Alexandre the Third and the Champs Elysee, we are strengthened, body and mind. Experiencing the cathedrals Notre Dame and Sacre Coeur at Montmartre slows our pace with reverence. As we picnic by the Eiffel Tower and on the Seine with our friends, Colleen and Gary we feel very blessed to be sharing all these experiences with them. Atop the Arc D’Triomphe, cruising along the Seine and in the hustle of the metro or streets our eyes are shifting. They take in the pleasures of colourful produce markets, patisseries and choclatiers. I felt dipped into chocolate heaven and left to sit there with a smile on my face from having the best of ice-cream on the Champs Elysee. Pedestrians weave through bustling traffic, a lady begs, a couple is kissing, and friends chat. So much movement of body, mind and heart.
