Laurie and I shared breakfast in the dining room and then were off to Giverny. She knew so much about Claude Monet that I loved listening. Everyone on the train, and on the buses spoke in muted voices and it helped to create a quiet, graceful day.
What a nice change from the metropolitan city of Paris. I could very comfortably live in that town and ride the train to Paris for shopping, culture and diversity. We could have easily needed a new media card just for the pictures. The gardens are beyond breathtaking. Even at the turn of the last century, that home was built with windows on all rooms facing the gardens and pond. The aura in the home made it possible for me to imagine Claude entertaining friends on a joyous happy evening.
The kitchen made with artificial products would pale in comparison to the cobalt blue tiles that completely covered the walls.
For all of you cookers out there, the stove would make you yearn to create an omelet or cup of tea on the unique pot warmer with spigot- not forgetting a rising pumpkin bread to accompany a latte.
