So it's 2013. We made it through the holiday travel crush, the potential end of the world, and the quest for the perfect New Year's Eve celebration. It's almost the first weekend of the year; can we take a breather now? This gentleman at the Musee d'Orsay in Paris is taking a bit of a time out, looking peaceful and enjoying the art/furniture (as well as perhaps the view of nearby Montmartre), ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.
