We have arrived in Paris! Oh la la

Throughout the afternoon artists arrived at the hotel, each with travel stories to share. Mary and Layla got upgraded to business class (way to go girls) and Gail was evacuated from the airport Starbucks by police with machine guns just when she was supposed to meet Yoshiko, Yikes.  Well, they did find each other and we are all here safe and sound.  A group of us were able to spend some time at The Sennelier Store. It is the oldest art supply store in Paris and it really felt that way. It was small and crowded with a narrow spiral staircase that lead to the upper floor. It was very specialized with only the best paints and brushes, this is no Micheal's that's for sure. We had to fight our way to the counter to pay and say our fair share of "Pardon, Pardons" just to maneuver around. It was fabulous. I can't wait to try out my new Sennelier colors. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow when we tour the D'Orsay! A demain!
