The Louvre

What do you say about the Louvre? Its huge, and they say you can't do it in a day. Well tiff and I didn't quite do it in a day, but we saw most everything we wanted to really see, and only missed out on three galleries (galleries being wings of the louvre per floor, we missed out on two floors of one wing, and one floor of another). This is Perseus saving Andromeda from the kraken. Medusa's head is on the floor on the otherside of the rock.
The Code of Hammurabi.

Not everything cool in the Louvre is big.... I really dug this little frog in the egyptian wing.

The Venus di Milo. The frenzy around her was pretty amazing in itself, but she is rather disarming.

The Mona Lisa. So much fuss over a girl with no eyebrows.

Tiffany really liked this painting, Le
Jeune Martyre. She bought a print of it.

I really liked Pygmalian and Galatea, but apparently nobody else does. So I couldn't get a print of it for me. Oh well.

We had a break, and went shopping and got lunch at the underground mall near the Louvre. I got me-self a little Mr. Greedy that I hung on my watch. Then we went back into the Louvre to see the last few things we wanted to see before it closed. Mary Magdaline. I never knew she was made out of wood.

I call this, Bogo Biting my Butt.

After the Louvre, we had the storm. (see below). The next day we went to Versaille, and Deux Magot, and then called it quits early. We both really needed the rest. Today, we went to the Montmare district, and then down to Moulin Rouge. I can't show you those pictures. ;)

So now we're resting up a bit in the hotel room, thinking about going to the Eiffel Tower, since we haven't actually been there yet (Bastille day we sat in a park nearby, but never could really get close). Tomorrow we have half a day to spend in Paris, then we're off to London. It doesn't feel like we had enough time here. So I guess that just means we'll have to come back some day.

More pictures later.
