chagall is nice

since becoming museum girl, i've been somewhat embarrassed to say that i love monet, because it's just so... commonplace. at least i can be a tiny bit less ordinary by having discovered that i'm also terribly moved by the fanciful works of marc chagall. the zurich kunsthaus has quite a nice set of his works, and i was itching to visit THE chagall museum in nice. it was everything i'd hoped for and more! small enough that you can savour every single piece, and very nicely laid out. swoon!

back to the city of lights

for me, though, it's really the city of falafel! behind this blurred picture of b, the heavenly pockets and plates are being assembled. yum. paris has so much to offer, but i'm easy to please -- completely satisfied with falafel and a few hours at the orsay. some day i'll figure out what all the excitement over ritzy shopping and fine dining is all about. oh yeah, and of course, it was great to see b, b, and the other gk again!
