So, I know its been a really long time since I last blogged but its only because nothing super exciting has been happening lately. Mostly just the same ol’ day to day stuff. (Don’t worry, I know I haven’t even blogged about my trip to Switzerland yet but I’ll do that today too)

However, before I recap Switzerland, I’m going to tell you about today! One of the great things about living in a predominantly catholic country is the abundance of public holidays. Today for example is Christi Himmelfahrt. Patrick took the boys on an outing while I got to go out with Karli and get a little cultural experience in.

Bonn has A LOT of great museums and when you move here, you register as a resident and the city gives you a coupon book full of free tickets to these museums. Today was the first time we took advantage of a coupon. We went to Bundeskunsthalle to see the Ménage à Trois exhibit featuring individual and collaborative works of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Francesco Clemente. It was fantastic. I really loved seeing the lesser known Warhols. His style really spoke to me the most. The other artists, who were new to me, were also great to observe. Unfortunately, cameras were not allowed in the exhibit (and they had serious guardage so I couldn’t even sneak iPhone pics). So below I’ve roamed the web to find some of my favorite pieces to share with you. Enjoy!
