On the Van Gogh Route

 We hunted down places where Van Gogh had painted and also visited the sanatorium where he lived.  This was a building dating from the 1100s.  There are plaques in towns marking where he painted showing the painting in front of the scene he had painted.   It was interesting to see the artistic licence that he had taken in interpreting the scenes.

A change of plans...While in Bengaluru, Joe got sick and we decided that rather than seeking medical attention in Indian, we would change our plane tickets and head to Paris, where we have been able to rent an apartment in the Latin Quarter near the Sorbonne.  Joe has recovered, but I got sick and have been taking it easy.  So now we begin a French adventure.
