It’ll be fine
A strange weekend in Seattle
A trip to Seattle to see Harry Potter The Exhibition and Picasso: Masterpieces from the Museé National Picasso, Paris seems like the oddest of juxtapositions. On one hand we have a child’s story, full of witchcraft and fantastical creatures, stories that have become a world sensation. A sensational pop culture phenomenon. And then there is Picasso, an artist born more than a century before even the idea of Harry Potter. Picasso once said “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” He was also a pop culture phenomenon – one that could paint with great grace as well as great harshness. Harry Potter is a boy becoming a man, while Picasso was a man who seemed to be becoming a boy. As odd as the combination is they made for a great weekend.
Grand Tour Day 13/14 – From London to Rouen
Quiet days are going to be the key I think. As I mentioned, Day 12 was pretty quiet but that worked out perfectly for the next two days. Monday was a whirlwind of activity leading into my travel to Rouen in Normandy, France. The travel led to a bit of a quieter day in Rouen but I’m hoping that means high energy for tomorrow. I’m labeling this post ‘Day 13/14′ as they rather blended together for me.
My adventure to Kamloops
My adventures to Kamloops… a funeral, the death of a car, a bunch of racing around, plus hospital visits (seriously!).
