Des collections remarquables, des chefs d'oeuvre dans chaque vitrine, sur chaque mur. Des bâtiments aérés, lumineux, bien entretenus, avec une armée de gardiens et des mesures de sécurité draconiennes. Je ne sais ce que j'ai préféré, des grands musées d'état ou des petites collections privées prestigieuses, comme la Fondation Barnes, la Frick Collection ou l'Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;J'ai découvert l'art américain, qui ne se réduit pas au Pop Art. Mon champion tous styles confondus est Edward Hopper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Côté villes, j'ai aimé Chicago pour son architecture et New York pour son ambiance; mais les autres villes sont un peu ennuyeuses, comme les gens, qui sont aimables mais n'ont rien à dire sauf: Aoh ! you come from France ! Belgium ? Where is it ?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Je retournerai aux USA, mais cette fois à l'ouest: il me reste à voir le fameux Paul Getty museum à Los Angeles et le Moma de San Francisco...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;See you America !&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1064430263316078565-1630633002550872890?l=virginieauxusa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://virginieauxusa.blogspot.com/feeds/1630633002550872890/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1064430263316078565&amp;postID=1630633002550872890' title='2 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1064430263316078565/posts/default/1630633002550872890'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1064430263316078565/posts/default/1630633002550872890'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://virginieauxusa.blogspot.com/2008/09/et-cest-fini.html' title='Et c&apos;est fini...'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11703349062206473139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_eqXfPA5aXB0/R72zXnqiXoI/AAAAAAAAAUw/qRJLtF2uvTM/S220/r%C3%AAver+au+d%C3%A9part.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_eqXfPA5aXB0/SNEfGwDXB4I/AAAAAAAAEGE/Vymf6bJV2Ec/s72-c/street.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064430263316078565.post-1293256874770042624</id><published>2008-09-17T16:19:00.011+02:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T16:54:37.048+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Hôtel Lombardy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_eqXfPA5aXB0/SNEaJt2pHZI/AAAAAAAAEF8/egzUaHaKCog/s1600-h/lift.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247003795093265810" style="DISPLAY: block;

C'est une ville propre et vivante, fière de ses buildings art déco qui cohabitent avec des constructions d'un modernisme sans pareil (sauf peut-être en Asie). La vue est celle que j'ai de ma chambre d'hôtel: au pied des tours, l'antique château d'eau; et tout au fond, le lac Michigan - une véritable mer intérieure. Rien qu'en observant la surface de l'eau, le matin, je pouvais dire quel temps il ferait... les vagues étaient visibles de ma fenêtre! La rue en contre-bas - surnommée &lt;em&gt;le magnificent mile&lt;/em&gt;, est dédiée au commerce, et le quartier au sud&lt;em&gt;, le loop&lt;/em&gt;, aux affaires; tout cela peut se parcourir à pied, le nez en l'air.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Le taxi qui m'amène de l'aéroport est folklorique - vous pouvez distinguer la taxe de 1 dollar pour le carburant;

J'ai envie d'entendre parler francais, de voir autre chose que des pubs et du base ball a la tv (Arte !!!)&lt;br /&gt;On peut parfaitement boire de la biere, du vin et des cocktails dans les restaurants; certains endroits s'intitulent pubs, et l'on peut boire perche sur un tabouret au bar, mais ce n'est pas ce que je cherche. J'ai sans doute le mal du pays.&lt;br /&gt;Il y a surement des supermarches en peripherie ou l'on peut trouver de la biere... enfin j'espere pour les gens d'ici.&lt;br /&gt;Dans mon hotel - pourtant de bon niveau, ni bar ni resto... rien que des distributeurs de boissons et de bonbons; on est dans un monde de machines; et si les serveurs (en short, ont l'air de boy-scouts) des restos sont si aimables, c'est pour gagner leur fric.&lt;br /&gt;Dans la rue, les gens sont replies sur eux-memes, la plupart ecoutent leur mp3; et quand je veux demander mon chemin sans deranger un de ces melomanes, j'ai parfois du mal a trouver quelqu'un de disponible.

(enfin, deux...); ces terrasses etant des restaurants, j'ai fait une folie et deguste le plat obligatoire du coin: le crab cake; un invraisemblable pate de crabe, gratine de parmesan, pose sur une salade de chou blanc; curieux mais comestible; le tout accompagne d'un petit vin blanc acceptable - mais la biere etait disponible egalement; on est dans le Maryland et plus en Pensylvannie - ceci explique peut-etre cela.&lt;br /&gt;(il faut quand meme noter que j'ai traverse la ville du nord au sud sans rencontrer un seul magasin vendant des cannettes de biere)&lt;br /&gt;C'etait un resto de qualite, avec un bon service (toujours aimables les serveurs, puisqu'ils sont au pourboire), et j'ai bien regrette de ne pas partager ce repas avec l'un - ou l'une - d'entre vous.

Parce qu'un riche collectionneur farfelu a eu l'idee de racheter des morceaux de cloitre en ruine, en France et en Espagne, pour les reconstruire en terre americaine. Il a rajoute ce qui manquait et le resultat est sublime. Surtout dans ce lieu, loin de la ville et de son tumulte. Une vraie merveille.&lt;br /&gt;Le mec n'a pas rapporte que des cailloux et des chapiteaux sculptes - mais aussi des tableaux, de l'orfevrerie, des retables ... un vrai tresor.&lt;br /&gt;Attention, ca ne donne pas dans le kitsch - ma crainte au depart.

Enfin c'est mon experience, et Agnes en a peut-etre une autre ???&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1064430263316078565-5585645866692253374?l=virginieauxusa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://virginieauxusa.blogspot.com/feeds/5585645866692253374/comments/default' title='Publier les commentaires'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1064430263316078565&amp;postID=5585645866692253374' title='1 commentaires'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1064430263316078565/posts/default/5585645866692253374'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1064430263316078565/posts/default/5585645866692253374'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://virginieauxusa.blogspot.com/2008/06/securite-suite.html' title='Securite (suite)'/><author><name>Virginie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11703349062206473139</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_eqXfPA5aXB0/R72zXnqiXoI/AAAAAAAAAUw/qRJLtF2uvTM/S220/r%C3%AAver+au+d%C3%A9part.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064430263316078565.post-7910072023487474530</id><published>2008-06-09T14:41:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2008-06-09T14:48:23.980+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Ground Zero</title><content type='html'>Alimente bien sur nos fantasmes !&lt;br /&gt;C'est actuellement un chantier immense, en pleine activite, entoure de palissades, et bien entendu interdit au public, avec de la police partout.
