I then visited the Musee de l'Orangerie and was in complete awe of being surrounded by all the waterlilies.<br /><br />Captivating post of the year 1927 ... which happened to be the year before my parents were born.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394411873394023490.post-15036760549678964272014-07-05T20:14:40.892+02:002014-07-05T20:14:40.892+02:00That is true.
