Today was our last day in Paris. Tomorrow morning Grant heads home and I am off to Copenhagen.
We made a great choice for how to spend today. We went to the centre Pompidou - the modern art museum. It was stunning. The outside of the building is amazing. The inside is well organized spaces with a sequential journey of art from 1905 to 2012. A large number of Picasso's and lots of other contemporary work, organized in rooms with enough commentary so that even ignoramus like us could understand. Then some very, very new work including computer interactive and 3d printing.
We left there at about 6pm. The streets were buzzing with locals and sun! We wandered our way back to our apt - about 2-3kms with a cafe stop and late dinner. While at dinner some fire engines went past. When we walked home they were at a building just opposite ours, with a ladder up to the 5th floor and smoke coming out the window - all is quiet now.
Now it is time to pack and find some warmer clothes. High predicted for tomorrow in Copenhagen 14 burrrrrr
