Tiffany Exhibit

I am just totally amazed at what I can do on this computer! Today I booked train tickets, first class, from Cahors to Paris to see the Louis Comfort Tiffany glass exhibition at the Musee du Luxembourg. 60 euros...that's an awesome price. Then I bought a ticket to see the exhibit and printed it off. I checked on room availability at a hotel in the St. Germain des Pres area and also inquired about renting an apartment for the 3 days I'll be in Paris this September. I already confirmed a lunch date with Isabelle for Saturday. All from the comfort of my office and with my trusty little netbook computer. Is this cool or what!

Change of Plans?

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that I'm beginning to make my plans for what I'll do during my month in France. I've said all along that I probably won't go to Paris. It's expensive, and I'm trying to be prudent with my money. Well...that good intention flew out the window yesterday when I received an email from Programmation du Musee du Luxembourg! When I visited Paris in 2007, Marie and I went to an exhibit of Lalique jewelry at the Musee. I bought our tickets online and have been on their email list ever since. This week's email informed me that beginning Sept. 15th, there will be a Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibit at the Musee and I can purchase tickets for this spectacular event online. Paris is calling my name once again! I'm going to try to make a quick visit happen ,so I can see the works of this magnificent stained glass artist. Maybe I'll be inspired to drag out the glass, the solder and flux, the grinder and do a little stained glass myself...again.
