| | Have you ever thought north was south and south was north and 45 minutes later realized you were in the wrong spot? I always seem to get lost on the same pont (and no that is not misspelled) next to Cité, near Notre Dame Cathedral.
 Today, I was blessed to be invited by a member of the church out to Giverny, the home of Monet to view his house and gardens. It was amazing. It rained up until the time we got there, so the flowers were covered in beautiful droplets of water. Just walking around the garden was such a nice break from the ordinary and gave me a great reason to pull my camera out and snap a few shots.
After viewing the estate, we went and had lunch in a quant little restaurant. I ate the most wonderful Salade Chèvre Chaud (Hot goat cheese salad). Then we drove back into town.
When we arrived back in Paris, I went my on my own way, heading for Notre Dame via the Louvre. After 45 minutes of walking, all the while enjoying the scenery and taking more photos, I realized I was going in completely the wrong direction, turned around, and walked the hour back to where I wanted to be. It was well worth it the error. :: smiles ::
 (One of my favorite signs in Paris.)
When some people go and visit their favorite places, they like to eat at certain restaurants, visit different monuments, or see different scenes. Me, I like to take pictures of the same random things. I don't know why. But I like it anyways. I've always wondered what this sign means.
Today was a good day. It was nice to have time just to walk around, think, and get my bearings again. It was nice to take photos. It was nice to be with friends. Today was a nice day.
