Okay, so maybe in theory it&#8217;s true but in practice, considering that I have no sense of direction &#8230;. Everything is possible. But really everything! So here I am, leaving the natural history museum visited along, across and across, my 7 year old daughter, almost under my arm and \u00ab\u00a0en avant Guingamp\u00a0\u00bb!<\/p>\n<p>So one thing leading to another, like this street is nice, to look at this building where the facades are all colorful what if we went for a ride and after we return on our steps? Except that in real life, I never went back. Except that in real life, I really lost myself. Except that in real life, a mother never loses herself and if by any chance &#8230; a mom pretends everything is fine.<\/p>\n<p>After four hours in the museum and a couple of hours to turn almost in circles outside, my daughter begins to fell tired and mostly to question me. So, for the umpteenth time, I take back the map in the hands. I turn it in one direction, then in the other. Damn, my daughter understood everything. Her mouth twists, her eyes fog up with tears, her cheeks blush. I crouch down and hold her tightly in my arms. Without a word, we continue our way. The snow has accumulated on the edge of the sidewalks. At the last minute, I start a dizzying rise of grayish melted snowmelt and at that moment a huge man takes my daughter under her armpits and lifts her like a feather so that she does not have to be soaked up to mid calf. I thank him with a smile but he is already gone. Just an angel, passing by.<\/p>\n<p>The guardian angel effect also worked to find my way in this maze of perpendicular streets. When I think about it I have never been very talented in geometry, no wonder! I recognize a store, Macy&#8217;s! We went yesterday to buy an adapter plug. Perfect, I can go back to the hotel now. Phew!<\/p>\n<p>I suggest a hot chocolate and giant muffin with blueberries stop to my daughter before returning to our room. Yes!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watercolor\/ Gouache on white paper \u2013 11,81 x 7,87 inch \u2013 Unique work Who said that in New York the city was crisscrossed and that it was impossible to get lost?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=582"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":584,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582\/revisions\/584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sidranne-painter.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
