Today we drove to Giverny, home to the Monet museum and his beloved gardens. Don and I weren't sure what to expect but it was fantastic. The flowers were in full bloom and the fragrance was wafting through the air.
The picture above is the water garden where he painted his famous water lilies, and Japanese bridge. The weather cooperated, the bright sunshine brought an added warmth and charm to the gardens.
This picture of Don & I was taken in the main gardens, you can see Monet's home in the background.
Here is a picture of Monet's home, or 1/2 of the home. It was rather large and they have restored it to the period; I would have liked to take some pictures but no photos were allowed.
This will be our last post from France as we fly home tomorrow. It has been an absolute fantastic vacation and I feel very privileged to have the opportunity to see and do what we have done. We truly have been blessed.
Au Revoir,
Barb & Don
