Emilio's First Post: Angels and Stuff
So my parents took me to two museums during our recent trip to Paris. One was the famous Louvre. The other was the Orsay! So, "It" actually took place in the first gallery at the Musèe d'Orsay.
After walking what felt like forever, due to the pain in my legs from walking all over Disneyland and then Northern France the days leading up to our arrival in Paris, I spotted two paintings, and in my ADHD mind, I knew just what to do... hehe! The first painting showed a happy woman, who looked a lot like Venus, actually. The woman had a cute, loving angel baby, exchanging happy eye contact with his "mom."
This baby... looked a lot like ME. Right? My curly hair came in later.
The baby angel was younger and, of course, uglier than me. I called this painting "Anne's Dream" or "What Anne Ordered."
The second one, now, showed the same woman, except she was frightened to death by the seven babies "assaulting" her, as the painting is called. I called THIS one "Anne's (Nightmare) Life" or "What Anne Actually Received."
It made us ALL - mom, sister, dad, me - laugh, especially my dad (Boss of Traveloquitos), a man who almost never laughs in museums. And that joke is still going strong today because we also made a short video. We have footage!
After that, we enjoyed the rest of our visit to Orsay, including some of Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh's work. I will post more photos later. The next day we went to the Louvre and visited the rest of Paris. One word:
