Hello my dear readers!
Had such a busy yet amazing weekend! I just gave myself a short little break from blogging these past few days to be with family...Here's what we did:
First we went to an exhibit at the Arkas Art Center located inside the French Embassy building. Admired some very lovely sketches and paintings made by expatriots based on their impressions of life in Izmir in the 18th and 19th centuries... Unfortunately no pictures from the exhibit, where taking photos is prohibited, but here's a glimpse what you can expect from the exhibit:
If you're interested further, take a look at their website here.
After visiting the exhibit, we crossed the street and made it to the French Cultural Center, which has an amazing garden full of trees and flowers and plants, right smack in the middle of the city...
...And the pretty colors and shapes of the flowers were so nice to take in on this sunny afternoon...
Well, in a nutshell, we had a litlle bit of Paris in Izmir over the weekend!
Have a great week everyone!
