Today was the last day of our amazing Paris trip. Although we spent most of the day visiting the Musée D’Orsay, we found time for our usual game or two of soccer (this time with a tennis ball) and for our final French dinner.
The Musée D’Orsay was a magnificent museum full of fascinating art. A highlight of the museum was the sculpture court; this section showcased many of the world’s most beautiful sculptures. We were disappointed, however, to discover that one of the best rooms of the museum had been emptied and that the art was nowhere to be found. We especially enjoyed the room with five remarkable paintings by William Bouguereau, one of Mr. Travers’ favorite artists. Overall, the museum was an unforgettable place to experience some of the world’s most treasured art.
After our tour of the museum, we headed back to a grass field to play soccer, this time with a tennis ball. A few minutes into our first game, we met a thirteen-year-old Italian boy who asked to join us. We were happy to include another player and everyone had an awesome time.
Later that evening, Mr. Travers and Mrs. O’Brien took us to an amazing restaurant. For the first course of dinner we were able to create our own salads. For the next course we were served four delicious varieties of French cheese with fresh bread (a staple at every meal). We all enjoyed either steak or lamb for our main course and later indulged in orange sorbet. Things got a little loud after dinner when a man jumped on a chair and began playing his guitar. It was the perfect end to our last full day in Paris.
