Taking the train to CDG
Nina's last pomme fritte
Getting ready for take-off
Leaving Paris
Monday, July 7
The church of St. Germain des Pres is the oldest in Paris.
These late Delacroix murals (oil on canvas) are in the church of Saint-Sulpice. Seurat and Signac spent a lot of time studying them.
We also found a great playground where Nina and I hung out while Mary went to see a Vlaminck show in the Musée du Luxembourg.
There was a lot of contemporary sculpture on display in the Jardin du Luxembourg.
Nina and I went back to St. Sulpice since Mary was still in the Vlamick show.
One chapel held a video installation by Benjamin Bergery and Jim Campbell.
Epiphany, 2007
Then we went back to the Musée du Luxembourg to find Mary. She said the show was great, though photography was not permitted.

What a relief not to be going to another museum today!
Cathrine took us to visit her friends Martine and Phillipe at Martine's country house, just 30 minutes outside of Paris. The landscape changes very quickly.
Appoline joined us for the day and brought along a special card game for the train ride.
Arriving at the station
Driving into the village, we passed an old car.
Mary and Cathrine picked up some bread and a fruit tart.
Martine's house is just outside the village, within walking distance.
Martine showed Cathrine her garden while Nina and Appoline started a game of tag. In french it's something like "play the cat."
With limited ability to communicate, Nina and Appoline decided what to do next.
Lunch
Sieste
Then we took a walk to a neighbor's to go for a swim.
A nice setting for a pool
