Near Misses

We are in the middle of nowhere on this trip… surrounded mostly by cornfields. But, there’s a reason people visit France more than any other country…. There’s a lot to do. Or is there? You be the judge.

So far, actually just today, we’ve missed more than we’ve seen, including the following:

** the matchstick building museum, including a world-record 350,000 piece Cathedral of Reims… A little too far out of the way.

** the very first reproduction of the Venus de Milo… Actually nobody could even pretend to muster up the energy for that one

** a Rembrandt crucifixion painting, part of a series of 7 paintings of which the other 6 are in Munich… Closed on Saturdays.

** the museum of old farm equipment. Not yet open for the season.
