Best Free Galleries and Museums of Paris. Top Story - February 2019.
As an art-lover who moved from London to Paris, one of the biggest adjustments I've had to make is how frequently I visit art galleries and museums. Unlike London, beacon of free culture, many of Paris' iconic galleries; such as the Louvre, Musée D'Orsay, and Jeu de Paume, sans gratis. Except for the first Sunday of the month, when most galleries open their doors to visitors, for free!

Between Two Small Towns
What makes Surry County so special to me, you ask? I can tell you that there are many reasons why this county is so special to me. For one, I grew up here and have lived in this area since I was born. I have seen many businesses come and go and seen improvements to Surry County as time marches on. Two special towns come to mind living in Surry County and those are Mount Airy and Pilot Mountain. Growing up, I have always loved the outdoors. I would roam and play in the woods, spending as much time as I could outdoors. Mount Airy and Pilot Mountain have beautiful outdoor parks. Although having outdoor parks is one special thing, but there are so many other things when living between these two towns.

Jersey Revisited
The X15 soon had me transported from the airport to the bus station in St Helier. Where the buses offload their passengers, the lighting is similar to Security in Southampton Airport that I had passed through about 90 minutes ago. Inside the cavernous hall are a few inquiry desks and some seating in the same design as at the airport. All designed to let bus passengers know they are welcome to spend even less time here than back at the airport.
