Paris stuff

Musee de Orsay



William Bougereau...my favorite guy. He paints skin like you wouldn't believe.



Musee d'Orsay used to be a train station



Wow!!!



Sculpture of a faun



Musee d'Orsay...European art from the 1860's-til early 1900's aka impressionism! This stuff should be in the Louvre!



Paris...with him? . . . . it's a perfect world

Traveling Companions

Matacanes

we hiked from 11am to 8pm through this river and now I have swollen ankles. More like cankles. Really, really unusual amazing place. It should be a national park, but this is better because it has limited access. The limitation is 10 miles of unpaved road that even gives fearless Mexicans adrenaline in order to arrive at the river. Ever kiss under a waterfall? I have!

Mexico

elotes! (it means corn on the cob)


camping! ...and making salsa


Cumpleanos Feliz Senora Apodaca!!

I am trying to upload pictures but the internet in Boston isn't letting me. Stay tuned.

Empezamos

We christened our trip by hastily changing our first destination for want of two visas to the U.S. for my two sketchy Mexican companions. So we went to Mexico. We spent a week running trying to get the visas in time with an interlude of mountaineering to make things more interesting. Now we are in Boston waiting to fly to Europe for four weeks of artistic education.
