(pics to come)
This morning I woke up and went to the Lourve on my own. (metro--- check) Missed the long lines by entering through the metro (thank you frommers) and headed in to the museum. 1st stop, of course, the Jaccond... ou la Mona Lisa. Tres bien, oui... mais there are so many beautiful paintings and pieces of art I continued.
The Venus de Milo, a small sphynx... I finally stopped in the lovely, bright room that housed some roman sculptures and sat down with the headphones on and sketched. Before I know it... 2 hours had gone by. Seriously. I could do that 2-3 times a week and not be bored. Loved it there. Walked out through the pyramid and gasped. I had yet to see the building(s) that housed all this lovely art. It, itself, is stunning and VAST!
Met up with Lina and Doc and headed out for dinner altogether with another friend and her dog Macho. Macho is all toughness in about 2 cups full.Tried escargo and foie gras for the first time. Loved them both. Walked around St. Germain and saw one of the oldest restaurants in Paris. Benji Franklin, Robespierre, etc have dined there. Cool little neighborhood. We chatted about the Cuban missile crisis of all topics and then walked along the Seine. --- great evening and such a nice dinner.
