Caboosey Corbusier

Today was great!  We walked all over Paris. My feet hate me, but my brain is bursting with knowledge! haha I have a feeling this is going to be a weird blog....I'm so tired!  but anywho.....
We got to see a living wall. Its where they plant plants all over the wall to make up for the ground that the building took over. It's Green and it's awesome! We then went to the Musée d'Orsay. It is in an old train station and it is fantastic. There are so many amazing things to see. We got to see works by Van Gogh and Monet and so many other incredible artists. My favorite was the Art Nouveau section. I have learned about almost all of those designers in my history class (thank you Darrin!!), and then to see the works for real was amazing! We even had time to sit down and sketch a little bit so to be there in front of the real pieces was such an awesome experience. It was a great museum. 
Then we were off to Villa Savoy. Again it was incredible! It is by Le Corbusier around the 1930's and it is so modern. I have loved learning about it and then getting to see it for real was just such a fantastic thing to do! I loved everything about it. It is an amazing place to go.
