Sunday, May 22
We woke only to realize Randy’s phone had died. Nothing on the screen after a night of being charged. Since our breakfast place was closed on Sunday, we headed toward Aix en Provence. Low and behold we found another place for breakfast along the way pretty quickly. In Aix en Provence, Cezanne lived and painted. He was ignored at the time, but now his presence is milked for all its worth for tourism.
We arrived at Gere Parking Center at 11:05. Couldn’t get the ticket to dispense. At the end we got free parking. From there we went to the art museum where we saw a film about Paul Cezanne. There was an iron man event which made getting around difficult. It was Sunday, but I did manage to do some shopping. Cezanne’s studio was a 20 minute walk away. I’m glad we made the trek as it was good with a nice audio presentation and slideshow. On the way home we got stuck in a traffic jam for a couple of hours. You gotta love this trip. All my pictures of the day are inserted in reverse order as to when they happened. Cezanne’s glass jars he used for still life painting A film on Cezanne saint he considered himself a failure as an artist.
