Today we got to test our umbrellas. But despite the rain it was 57 and not too terribly uncomfortable. After coffee at a cafe where the owner was playing 60’s English rock and dancing his way around the tables, we sauntered to the Musee des Beaux Arts. This is a small museum. But there are significant pieces and artists. It is nice sometimes to be in a small collection and concentrate more on each piece. Julia and Carolyn, thought of you 2 when I saw Matisse’s from 1898, small little landscapes & still lifes. Two Delacroix, Greece On the Ruins of Missolonghi and The Lion Hunt.
Walking around today reminded me of the Gustave Caillebotte Street in Paris in the Rain. A pictoral round up of Bordeaux.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, little Matisses!
Yes. So small they could easily slip in a bag and go home with one. But, alas! The were under glass.
