Steve and I recently spent two weeks in France visiting Paris and northern France. I wasn't able to blog while there so over the next few days I'll upload some pictures of what we saw. Every travel book of Paris mentions Giverny which is an hour outside of Paris. Being interested in art I have always wanted to see Claude Monet's gardens which were the inspiration of his famous water lily paintings. I saw the paintings in the Musee de Orangerie on my last visit to France so when our Paris friends mentioned taking us to Giverny I was thrilled. The gardens and lily ponds are gorgeous. This is a picture of just a small portion of the lily pond and one of the Japanese bridges.
