Musee du Luxembourg

steve was traveling all last week..

so yesterday i took some time for

myself.

 there is an exhibition at the 

Jardin du Luxembourg right now 

through June about Josephine Bonaparte!

i finished the trilogy a few weeks back

and i'm still so fascinated by her.

any day at a museum is a good day 

for me!

the portraits of course are 

beautiful 

but for me..

i am so interested in 

seeing her things!

her clothing and jewelry

and furniture

and her toiletry kit.

i'm  looking forward to 

taking a trip out to 

Chateau de Malmaison soon.

Josephine's trunk that she

traveled from Martinique to France with

to marry Alexander de Beauharnais.

of course i bought another book at 

the gift shop.

i started reading

Josephine yesterday.

after the museum i sat in 

a chair out in the Jardin in the sun

and read for a few hours.

HEAVEN!!

steve and griffy came and met

me later and we sat outside at a cafe

and enjoyed the sun and the city.

we talked all about how

we don't ever want to leave here!

happy st. paddy's day!
