The End?

Found some Emenem in Paris

The Steve McCurry exhibit at Musee Maillol 

We went to Musee D'Orsay to see the Signac exhibit.  Signac was a fauvist painter who got quite interested in pointillism. He was also an art collector and his collection is impressive with a capital IM. 

 On Sunday we headed to Deyrolles, a taxidermy shop that's been around since the 1830s.  We saw stuffed bears, tigers, lions, zebras and sundry others. Little drawers of shells and butterflies and beetles were there for the observing.  Veritable cabinets of curiosity.

 We went to Musee Maillol to see the Steve McCurry photography exhibit. It was phenomenal. You know this photo, correct?  That was taken by Steve McCurry.  He's travelled all over the world taking pictures of intriguing persons.

A great weekend, but is all our fun coming to an end soon?  Our fireworks on New Years Eve have been cancelled.  They were scheduled to start at 11:30 pm, so we probably would not have been out there on the Champs-Elysees enjoying the spectacle with thousands of others, but it's the principle here that's important. 

 All the museums and cafes we visited this weekend required proof of vaccination for entry, but some were actually a wee bit on the crowded side. Everyone was masked and we are boostered, but I'm starting to get nervous again about our crazy old world.  It didn't help that we watched episode 1 of Station 11 tonight.  Not the greatest idea we've ever had. In short, we're somewhat freaked out at this point in time.
