An American Giverny
Old Lyme in Connecticut is the site of one of America’s early art colonies,
which mirrored the life at Giverny in France. Now, a special exhibit, “Impressionist
Giverny: American Painters in France, 1885-1915,” comes to the 11-acre
Florence Griswold Museum with works created by American expatriate artists
who worked in this small French village, inspired by the master Claude
Monet.
On display from May 3 through July 7, 2008, the setting could not be more
perfect. The Florence Griswold House, recently reopened, was the home of
artists who lived and worked together. For details on special events go

GriswoldMuseum.org. |

| SAVVY TRAVEL TIP |
Get Organized
Travel is a bonus in life, whether it is for business or pleasure. It takes you out of your normal environment and gives you the chance to see different places, experience new things and develop your mind. Being organized is the key to trip enjoyment—especially before the trip. Plan ahead by getting your household in order, including pet and child care, paying bills, and checking the refrigerator for food that will spoil while you are away.

Hot Topics
Chicago, IL—Some hot topics are on tap at the always
popular Field Museum in Chicago. Opening today, “Melting
Ice—A
Hot Topic: Envisioning a Change” (through September 1,
2008) focuses on climate change, specifically melting
ice caps, through the eyes of contemporary artists. Photographs,
oil paintings, sculpture, and video installations illustrate
the glaciers that are disappearing. Already ongoing (through
July 6, 2008), “Exploring the Arctic Seafloor: Photographs
by Chris Linder” sheds light on how robotic divers explore
the secrets of the Arctic seafloor led by an international
team from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. A new
interactive exhibit, “Nature Unleashed: Inside Natural
Disasters” opens May 23, 2008 and is on display through
January 4, 2009, and it explores catastrophic natural
phenomena and how they have affected people around the
world. Mother Nature and man-made climate issues may all
seem a bit unsettling, but these exhibits offer insight
and food for thought. For more information visit www.fieldmuseum.org.

Taking its name from the candles that burn brightly in votives placed in tiny lanterns, romantic Candelas has served sophisticated Mexican fare for eight years now. Expect fine cuisine with a good mixture of fish, beef and a vegetarian offering called Torre de Berengene, which is eggplant stuffed with cactus, tomatoes and bell peppers with a basil Dijon mustard sauce. Or try the beef strips served with jicama and pear slices, feta cheese and dressed with a chile piquin tamarindo y caramel sauce. A hearty choice would be the white bass encrusted with basil and mozzarella cheese served over mashed potatoes and vegetables dressed with a piloncillo sauce. A hot lounge next door offers the chance to unwind with dancing and listening music (416 3rd Avenue; 619-702-4455; www.candelas-sd.com).
