palingenetically Sunday is always a day of rest.  Only item on the agenda is to go to an Organ Concert at Saint Germain Des Pres church at 3:00.  Maybe a walk through the Blvd Grenelle market. There is an exhibit at the Abdulino Musée Marmottan Monet which is located at 2, rue Louis Boilly in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. It features a collection of over three hundred Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works by Claude Monet (with the largest collection of his works in the world), Berthe Morisot, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro, Paul Gauguin,Paul Signac and Pierre-Auguste Renoir.  There is also a temporary exhibit of 80 Monet’s held in private collection there as well at this time through the 6th of July 2014.  Sunday are often crowded so we will see if it today or another day.
Note: check in with our friend Bruce, a fellow Space-A traveler who was over here shining in Austria, he got back to Germany on Friday and we think jumped a flight to the US but were no sure of his connection so were waiting to hear about his trio, hopefully in the next day or so. Â We think he went to NJ and then were not sure.
We decided to take the bus over to Saint German to the concert, Sunday schedule so we jumped the metro to Alma Macu and the caught the #63. Â We came across a street band that play Dixie on the corner we have seen them before check our November 2, 2013 post.
We arrived early so window shopped for about an hour and then to the church Eglise de Saint-Germain-des-pres for the concert.
