Well we are now in Paris after a nice half day in London, where we visited the Tate Modern Museum for a quick tour through the permanent collection. There are some interesting noteworthy pieces from the great moderns but also contemporary artists as well, especially in multiple mediums. The Tower of Babel, see if you can pick out that picture! The man in the picture Beuys, was a German advocate of a radical way to educate and certify students in with an emphasis on a non-formulaic manner of curating their learning, harnessing the individual’s innate talents. Probably would not pass muster amongst most educators but he was a passionate advocate of alternatives to traditional learning. The picture of the blue dots is actually radioactive nuclear waste capsules at Hanford storage site, considered to be the most toxic nuclear site in the US and its in our backyard. Amy said that’s why the Walla Walla Onions are so big!
The pictures below are from the observation floor of the Tate. Can you guess which building we nicknamed the Butler. The other two buildings are the cheese grater and the shard, which is which?
We took the EuroStar train under the English Channel and on into Paris. We walked along the Seine for an evening stroll and dinner. Tomorrow we do an all day guided tour, since we have a short stay here, it seemed prudent to get a good survey.

Lovely photos from the Tate! Regarding the train ride to Paris, hoping Amy remembered our conversation about not falling for the charming persuasions of the English speaking taxi drivers when arriving at the train station. We were totally duped and paid a ton of Euro for a short ride to our hotel from the station. Learned our lesson and used Uber for the rest of our time in France. Have fun in beautiful Paris!
