We are back for a few days in July just outside St Germain on Rue de Varenne. Not sure how I've missed your videos until now but I have 6 weeks to catch up!! Definitely some of the best I've seen.

    This video shows where I wanted to walk two weeks ago. I just harry to Musse d’Orsay after arriving to CDG. I was lucky to get in without waiting so long at before 10:00. Since I have not visited it for a long time, I wanted to see everything as long as possible. I enjoyed many artworks for about 6 hours. Recently I saw another starry night by Van Gogh in MMA at the exhibition of Van Gogh’s Cyprus trees. I heard that some paintings of Degas and Manet are at MMA and I am going to see them at Christmas holidays. Thanks for wonderful video.

    Однажды я увидела в Париже странную женщину, у которой на лице была паутина, а из глаз и в вырез красивого белого брюссельского кружевного платья сочилась черная жидкость. Женщина была змеей. Когда она приблизилась, я почувствовал ужасный запах, будто мертвая черепаха приготовила яйца. Я даже не мог пошевелиться, и женщина этим воспользовалась. Она поцеловала меня в губы, и я начал задыхаться. К счастью, мимо прошел полицейский и освободил меня из хватки зверя. Затем злая женщина взлетела по лестнице на Монмартр, словно гонимая ветром. Потом у меня пошла сыпь по всему телу, я был похож на какого-то искалеченного жирафа без ног и без хвоста.
