I went on a French field trip today. We couldn't take pictures in the museum, but I snapped some quick ones on my phone.
Our meal at the fancy Brasserie Perrier was amazing. The food was amazing, and I had a great time. Sure, the waiters made me pretty jumpy because they kept popping up when I least expected it (Like the butler from Mr. Deeds!) but the service was great. I had crème brûlée for the first time in my life, and it was just...FABULASTIC! Sooo good. Hella good.
I know it's not the most picturesque city, but I really love Philadelphia. It's full of meaningful American history. I have family that live there as well, so I always enjoy a nice visit to the city. I've heard a rumor (that goes for all cities) that if you take pictures of the buildings, or look up at them, people know you're a tourist (or not from town) and take that advantage to pick your pockets, haha. Let's hope they didn't take my wallet when I took these!
We went to the Renoir exhibit after lunch, and enjoyed the amazing artwork of Pierre-Auguste Renoir. His artwork is sheerly stunning. Of course, I got a little bit of a headache from all the blotchy-ness and overall blurry-ness of his art, but it was worth it. We couldn't take pictures in the exhibit, but you could always be-bop over to Wikipedia (here's a link) and look at some of his stuff, they may even provide a link to all his work for you. I got myself an overpriced, lenticular postcard (AKA a 3-D postcard) of the wildflowers and men at the fence...for some reason, I can't seem to remember the title at the moment, but I'll scan it and show you later. I also got two pencils and the saleslady gave me some stickers when I asked nicely. =)
Those were $64 aprons in the shop. They were...uh, pitiful.
The Museum and Rocky's statue.
The Rocky stairs! Haha. I can hear the music now...haha.
Rainy Philadelphian 'burbs.
