TRAVEL GUIDE OF EXPLORATION AND LIFE EXPERIENCES.

If you use the Paris subway and come up at the Abbesses metro stop, you will have one heck of a climb because this is the deepest of all the metro stops in Paris and it really is a very long flight of steps. Yes, there is a real carousel on the left. The climb from the subway to the surface is at least 115 feet. This stop is on line 12 in the west side of the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris. Its name comes from the nearby Abby called Dames de Montmartre. The renowned Hector Guimard designed the entrance as he did for many metro stops in the city. This glass covered entrance was designed by Guimard for the Hotel de Ville metro stop but it was moved here in 1974. There were originally 150 of these Guimard designed metro entrances but only about 85 now exist. These should remain in place for many years because they are historic monuments.

Gertrude Stein told Ernest Hemingway that he should buy art instead of spending money on clothing and such. He was not wealthy at the time and neither am I. Ernest Hemingway did manage to buy some art works and I also am taking Gertrude Stein's advice to heart. I just have to find good art with Instagram and Pinterest friends to buy art that I can afford. Here is one such art work that I bought from @lillys_press. This artwork is called
