Magritte in real life

There is a juxtaposition. Surrealism, I am thinking, was more of just an observation of the present. Yes, it can be a bit strange, but isn't life? Gosh, just think, Dali was a normal?!

So a couple of nights ago, I met a couple of work buddies, fellow ex-pats (though I am not an expat yet)  for a drink at La Pallette and then to dinner at an unknown Italian designer's cafe. I know, shocking. We had fun, but on the way we noticed how insanely beautiful the sunset was. The sky was pure blue and splattered with clouds, while on earth is was super dark, almost like Magritte's Empire of Light.
After dinner we headed on over to get some Berthillon ice cream. I had Peach and it was awesome! On the way from the Left Bank to Ile St. Louis we crossed the Pont Neuf to see what Paris Plage was all about. Kinda weird, really for tourists but a great great great idea. Lots of folks were there having a drink, mulling around and generally enjoying the view. It is amazing to walk under the bridges and have a close look at their structure, as well as getting a real view of the Seine from the actual edge and not higher up on the Ile or L or R banks.
