pretty amazing

It is never too late,
My birthday gift,
Is the most beautiful that I received,
My sister, my brother-in-law and I,
Let’s cross France, on Monday
Went to Giverny on Tuesday
We visited the garden and the house
By Claude Monet, the painter,
Somme went to Paris on Wednesday
We visited the Musée de l'Orangerie,
To see Monet’s water lilies,
In two immense and oval rooms,
It was pretty amazing!
We tasted the Tuileries garden
among some Chinese tourists, 
Then we left Paris in the afternoon,
The next day in the Mayenne
We visited the Robert Tatin museum,
Then we left for Brest
Here is a birthday gift
That I will never forget,
It was pretty amazing!

I guess your trip to many tourist destinations was sponsored by your sister and brother in law as a birthday day gift to you. The beauty of the paintings in some museums are really amazing. A beautiful memory.

Great birthday present. I visited many museums in my past travels. Loved Monet. Yet I'll never forget the Rembrandt's Masterpiece "The Night Watch".

I visited the Louvre with my husband on his birthday years ago. I was so entranced that I forgot it was his birthday. If you’ve heard this story before, excusez-moi! He didn’t say anything until the evening as we walked back to the hotel. Never forgot it before or since…lol
