Daylight Savings Temps Temps
Suddenly time seems to be speeding by. Kait and Julia were here and we were in Berlin and then they were gone. And then, suddenly Dad was here. And we went to lots of museums and ate too much and then he was gone. And then, to add to it, we turned the clocks forward. And in six days (according to my Disneyland Visit Countdown clock Widget) I will be at EuroDisney with Dave, Hanly, Kyle, Leila, Tory, Elika, and the millions of other people who will go to EuroDisney on a Sunday in the spring. And then, 5 days later I will find myself in Croatia. Really. Fast.
So let me take a hint from Kait's earlier comment, and slow things down a little...
Kait and Julia were here and it was wonderful. Kait new exactly what I was missing, and she brought me Kraft Mac n' Cheese (which I am eating RIGHT NOW. It's great- nothing like it. Really.) and bagels. Bagels! We went to the first museum I have visited since my arrival in Paris: the Palais de Tokyo. There, we saw a lot of contemporary art which was... uhm, contemporary.
it looked like this:

We took some pictures and made some miSteaks...
Dad was just here. And we continued the tradition of going to museums. But this time we stayed away from contemporary art. Instead we stayed closer to my neighborhood. We went to the Jewish Museum, the Picasso Museum, and the Louvre. The winner for me was the Picasso. Lovely, really lovely.
At the Louvre I finally saw this:

It was underwhelming. But don't tell Leonardo or Dan Brown....
It is really lovely to see Paris with visitors. It is a very nice city in which to be a tourist. There are suddenly a million things to do, a million places to eat, and maybe four hundred museums to visit.
Ever since the clocks have moved forward, though, it has been a whole new Paris. It was 8:30 pm and the sun was still shining. I have ceremoniously removed the lining from my winter coat, and I had to wear sunglasses all day today. There are many a picnic in my future.
Soon there will be Croatia. In Croatia there will be a Croatian Passover, some exploring, and some beautiful beaches. But more on that later. I still have more time...
I hope this update was thorough. The sun is shining and there is a million things to do.
