Sunday afternoonin the park....

 the park being the Jardin du Luxenbourg in Paris. What a great city, what vitality. OK the coffee is pathetic and the espressi and cappuccini are absolute horrible (BTW there's no longer the so called French roast, it's all espresso, macchiato and cappuccino done very poorly even though they use Italian machines) but Paris is always Paris. This park is absolutely stunning. It has a plethora of flowers, wonderful trees and an artificial pond for toy boats. But what is best is the way it's being used to relax and enjoy life at least until Monday whel it's time again to work. We Italians also have a great joy of life except that we do not empohasize work as much. At any rate anyone visiting Paris must come here.

I wish I were in Paris

Hopefully, when this pandemic is over, I shall be able to go. I'm not holding by breath. 

Le Musée D'Orsay

This wonderful museum was originally a railway station opened for the exposition of 1900. By 1939 it had become obsolete. In the early seventies it was to be demolished but better heads prevailed and it was converted into a superb exhibition space. It has the premiere impressionistic collection in Paris or anywhere. I always vist it when I go to Paris. Not to be missed.
