upon arriving in paris, i heard that there was a once-in-a-lifetime exhibit on monet in paris that was ending this monday. being the crazed monet fan that i am, i absolutely HAD to go. except, i went online and couldn't get tickets. i tried to console myself, but still felt the strong pull of impressionist art. then, my friend luisa told me that the exhibition was open 24hrs/day until in closed from now on and that she was going late last night. we arrived at 11:15pm, waited 1.5 hours with two hundred of our closest friends, and finally went it. it is a testament to the french value placed on art that so many people were there. and it was truly exceptional. i'm so glad i did it.
