August 28: Erin and her friend Stacy met us at Forest Farm and we went off to Giverney. It was very crowded and it took us a while to even park. Went went to lunch first at Hotel Baudy, which is where Monet and his artist pals would meet for meals when they were in town. Many a famous impressionist painter stayed at the hotel and painted in the studio behind the hotel. After a filling lunch we went off to tour Monet's gardens. It is different every time we come. All the flowers are at a very mature stage and this was our first visit (this is our third time) where we actually saw the lilly pad flowers blooming. Even crowed, it is a peaceful place to visit!
