Impressionist Rouen (part 1)

Today was a nice quiet day in Rouen, gladly welcome after a busy weekend in Belgium, Etretat and Giverny (Monet's house). We had class (including a quiz on ancient Greek pronunciations) then spent the day in Rouen buying our train tickets to Marseille (it's amazing how much patience the trip planning people have), booking our hotel and planning our trip. After dinner we decided to check out the nightime art-light show here. 2 years ago they displayed a series of Monet's paintings with crazy renditions (complete with a flying witch) on the La Notre Dame Cathedrale de Rouen. This year they're showing a variety of impressionist works on the Musee des Beaux Arts. It was a really nice show. They ha some very nice transitions, music, and twists on the paintings that gave it a new life.

It's days like these that I realize how much I love this city. :)
