Monday evening I went to a lecture at NYU about Art and History. It was okay - it was largely about contemporary art, which isn't my favorite. It was nice to listen to French, but the conversations in English of the undergrads who had to attend the lecture for class left much to be desired...
Thursday I went to an art gallery opening (vernissage) at LWS for a photography exhibit on WWI and a sailboat trip. It was quite small and only okay. It did make my art showing look a little more legitimate though. The only differences were that this photographer's photos were framed and being sold for a lot of money -- I was not impressed by most of the photos. I definitely think a number of my photos are better, though the photographer did have some cool dolphin and whale snaps. There were 2 photos that I really liked - one of a deserted cross-ironwork with the sun rising behind it and a single poppy in the corner - and the other was off stone steps descending down into the sea/ocean.
On my walk to the gallery opening - I walked across the Pont des Arts...
Afterwards I went to Cafe d'Enfer with Maddie to see how everything is going for her. She has a month full of traveling coming up that sounds really fun. Cafe d'Enfer took my favorite meal off the menu... I am not the only one that has been upset, but at the same time my veal dish was amazing, as was the creme brulee!
Friday evening I went to my belly dancing class. I'm considering seeing if anyone I know here has a sewing machine - I might make myself a skirt for class. Everyone come to class all dressed up in the stuff the teacher sells, but I might be able to make a skirt for less then 60-70 euros... depending on the cost of fabric... We'll see if I have the time - it would be a good hw break for me to do some sewing, but it would be easier to do on a machine than by hand again!
Saturday, today, I went out to see Lincoln with one of the teachers I from work, Lea. I really enjoyed it. Definitely was a good movie. Then I headed off to tutoring IN THE SNOW to finish my afternoon off.
