After a fabulous dinner last night at a restaurant that was just as much a feast for the eyes as for the mouth we went to the Orsay Museum this afternoon. 
I love zeroing in on what really catches my eye in a scene or a painting. Is it artistic sacrilege to edit the great masters down to a tasty morsel? Not to me.
Unfortunately our afternoon at the museum was cut short when everyone was escorted out of the museum before it officially closed because of 'a problem with too much water in the Seine'. We couldn't understand why this was a problem but surmised there might be some worry about the basement and flooding? Apparently it is the rainiest May in Paris in 130 years and the Seine is rising beyond belief. We will see if it is open or closed tomorrow to resume our viewing, we only saw half of one floor. Bummer!
Outside we watched the show as a dog was being rescued off a houseboat. Why? Not sure, but everyone watching from the bridge cheered in delight when the german shepherd was successfully carried down the ramp into the waiting dingy and escorted back to dry land.
Looks like another precious item had a better fate than its larger counterpart.
