I suppose this living in Europe thing has it’s perks as it seems I am getting cultured. During some of our Grown-Up Time we’ve managed to get out and sample some of the local foods and local shops.

We recently went to a production of Oliver! (which was great) a little while ago we went to a museum in Lille, France, called the “Palais des Beaux-Arts de Lille.” I’m not much of an art museum person, so i knew I wouldn’t be able to spend all day there; Drew appreciates that kind of thing more than me. But we spent about 90 minutes there and for me, it was perfect. We got to see some works by Raphaël, Donatello, Van Dyck, Goya, Rubens, and Picasso (just to do a little name-dropping there). Alot of the paintings were pretty neat, although I think I was most impressed with the building itself.

This sketch by Picasso was my favorite.
