You might recognize this from Monet's paintings. Because I was so familiar with Monet's paintings and it has always been a dream for me to go to France and travel outside the city for a day in the hot sun, it was like having splendid Deja vu when I saw this pond that had only been a part of my in depth studies of Monet, not to be confused with Manet, both artists and people don't think it is funny when you pronounce the T at the end of their names. He (mOnet) would come out and paint almost every day and he would paint the same thing at the same time of day and then move onto another painting, for example he would paint #1 canvas at 9am and then #2 canvas at 10am and #3 at 11, and he would do the same thing every day so the lighting and everything was the same.

The day trip was very fun, and it was really cool to see his house and his paintings and his garden and pond. We also ran into some really cool people. It was really cool to see the town he lived in- it was like you would think a town in France would be.
