This morning we went to the Picasso Museum. Yesterday I booked tickets for admission there, and I couldn’t save them as Documents there as I’d done for the Petit Palais show. I had the printable version and asked for help at the hotel desk; that ran into complications. The desk agent figured how to take a screenshot and AirDrop it to her phone to print. It occurred to me: could I just have kept a screenshot of the mobile version to my photos, so I could have found it easily?
Anyway, we took the métro to the nearby station and I was glad to have Google Maps guide us down the series of streets to the museum. The museum had a special arrangement of the collection putting it into a new perspective at the fiftieth anniversary of Picasso’s death. There was much to appreciate as it showed the range of styles in the artist’s long career. The one work I photographed:
Afterwards, we got an Uber to Sacre-Coeur, since Margaret hadn’t been with me on the previous Montmartre walk. So we had a new walk in the neighborhood and a creperie lunch.
After getting a bit downhill, we got an Uber back to our hotel in a Tesla, interesting to experience along with the landmarks. I then got to see Amy from our SlowTrav days, and her husband Larry, very nice to catch up.
Our time in Paris was winding down, and we didn’t have a very busy schedule; we enjoyed what we could. Crowds of people are out in the evening.
