Another hot day

Today we braved the heat and headed into town. We returned some Zoe shoes, then had lunch at Pivano (just ok)

and then Zoe and I explored the museum. Zoe took this picture of me:

along with maybe twenty pictures of my feet and the floor.
They had opened the tower for an exhibit on ASIA. no matter that they mixed together Japanese, Chinese and India! The unifying theme was that it all came from one collection, but it's a little odd seeing pieces from such different cultures and periods next to each other. The tower had a very impressive roof:

The entrance to the exhibit had several interesting weapons, including this goat mallet

which, assuming it isn't some kind of standard, looks like a wicked thing to be swinging around on a battlefield. There was also this beautiful blade from THE ORIENT (seriously, a beautiful blade though)

And then Zoe took me to the Matisse room

and to our favorite room with scenes near Grenoble

And then of course L'Arche aux Fruits
