Ariel and I first stopped by Musee Jaquemart-Andre which was really interesting. It was cool to hear about the relationship between the couple who lived there and how good and equal it seemed to be. The audio guides were hilarious because they were just over the top flowery and English. "now imagine that you are at the beautifully illustrious ball.." etc. i was cracking up a couple times. The really cool part was that they had a temporary art exhibit of Spanish painters, which of course meant that there were some original paintings by Dali! that was really neat.
Parc Monceau is the most beautiful park in Paris that i have seen yet, i think. I think i like the English style gardens much better than the ridged symmetrical french gardens. There were fake ruins everywhere and just a lot of locals enjoying a bit of sun and some making out. I just liked it a lot there. it was almost a bit of wilderness brought into paris... even if it was fake. It was much prettier than Tuileries or Luxembourg in my opinion. Ariel and I spent far too long enjoying ourselves in Musee Jacquemart-Andre and Parc Monceau, so by the time we got to Musee Nissim de Comondo, it was closed. It is another museum on my list that i need to go back to.
