J'attend encore

I got in quick enough - but there are more lines inside for tickets to the museum. I'm impressed that there's an automated quick ticket machine. I get in line for that and a German woman hands me her ticket for a special exhibition that she doesn't have time to see. She walks me to the entrance to make sure it's ok to give me her unused entry. The guard can't believe she bothered. (I thank her in German - danke - maybe one of three words I know).

I can't believe I'm standing in yet another line to see an exhibit I hadn't heard of by an artist I'm only vaguely aware of (Ingres). But hey, I never turn down a free drink or a free special exhibition ticket.
