June 16, Giverny


Today we rose early and took a train out of Paris to visit Giverny, Monet’s home and garden. Monet’s garden has been lovingly restored to the fullness and beauty that it had during his life. We got off the train, and with rented bicycles we cycled 5km through the town of Giverny and on to Monet’s house passing rolling hills and charming vistas.

Monet’s home lies just outside the city center. With Mary leading the way we raced to keep up and enjoyed our jaunt through the French countryside. The weather cooperated and we had a lovely afternoon in the garden.

Our assignment of the day was to photography the Garden and so we allowed ourselves enough exploration and investigation of the gardens to discover them through our own lens.
