Art - in all its glory

Yesterday I met up with one of my new friends, Jeff, and went to the art museum Musée D'Orsay. It used to be an old train station and it is now filled with beautiful art, everything from the impressionists to the naturalists. My favorites were (of course) Monet and Degas. I was surprised though, and very delighted to see an August Strindberg painting hanging there, go Sweden!
Afterwards, we took a walk to Grand Palais which was unfortunately closed but you could still peek inside. The place is huge! I mean, it is so big that cars were parked in there and it did not look strange at all. Hopefully I'll get to go inside one day.
After laying in the grass and enjoying the sun by the Invalides for a bit, we took a walk in the 7th district where the American University of Paris is situated. It is a very charming neighbourhood, one I can see myself spending some time in for sure.
We had a nice supper there and then it was time for me to make my way home. We live somewhat far off but it only takes about 20 minutes by Metro pretty much anywhere you wanna go, which is great, especially considering it used to take me between 1,5 to 2 hours to commute to work.
Later that night, us girls (Malia's friend Marie is visiting) got dolled up and went out. We ended up at The Highlander (shocker) and met some pretty interesting random people there. I have a feeling that place is going to be the new Brennan's for me. We came home at about 4/4.30-ish, had some pizza and girl talk before we went to bed at about 5.

Today, I met up with a former classmate from Lund who also just moved here. We met up in the Luxemburg gardens (which, btw are amazing! I can definitely see myself there, relaxing in a chair, soaking up the sun) and then took a walk...everywhere. Well, we went to get some Berthillon sorbet (I got peach and something called Framboise a la Rose, which is raspberry in rose water or something like it - a-mazing!) around Notre Dame and then we took a stroll in the Marais, and then back to the Luxemburg gardens. It's nice to have a Swedish friend from back home here, even if we're not the closest of friends, it's still someone I know from before.
After about three hours of walking and talking it was about time to head home. Now, I'm lying in my bed, a bit exhausted (but no hangover, the walking definitely took care of that :) ), and waiting for the girls to come home. Tonight we'll probably do drinks at a friend's place, and tomorrow I'm meeting up with someone I met at HRC Calling. Busy busy busy.
But first, some Grey's Anatomy, oh yeah, I'm falling in love with it all over again. What's not to like?
