Musée and Mraz

reminds me of Amsterdam



multi-sensory exhibit
Monday morning Walter and I went to the Centre Pompidou to get our modern art on. I'd say it was halfway between the Musée D'Orsay and the Palais de Tokyo. The first two floors we visited were alright, but I was most impressed with the top floor and its temporary exhibit. You were supposed to pay extra for it, which we didn't know, but the museum attendant let us in anyways, saying "vous invite"- I invite you. So nice!

The Lavier exhibit was sweet. He's famous for his "painted objects" collection, and the first room had a Steinway Grand all shlopped over in paint. Cool.

Church of Mary Magdalene
After the museum, Walter and I had a quick Starbucks break and then met Kevin at Place de la Madeleine. We were hunting for a music store Mr.Horning told us to go to, but it sadly no longer exists. We walked around the square like, four times. It really doesn't exist. However, there was a cool church nearby, and we went inside so it wasn't an entire loss.

Next we metro'ed out to a new area and visited the "Parc des Buttes-Chaumond". Such a gem in the middle of the city! Fancy bridges and a waterfall and everything. After the park, Walter headed home and Kevin and I metro'ed to the area where we had our JASON MRAZ concert that night!!!!!!

Beautiful autumn colours


We went for dinner at a "Park Place" style restaurant. Pretty yummy. Then we walked to "Le Zenith" and enjoyed a spectacular concert. It was seriously so great. I don't even know what to say. It was just awesome. So glad that Kev and I decided to go do that!

After the show we went straight to bed, since we had another train adventure coming up the next morning!!
