I met up with Kamila while Sara found a couple of her friends from Spain and we all got together ath the Louvre. On the way, I noticed this bridge. It looks gold from afar, but it's really just a TON of locks.
Louuuuuuuvre! Honestly, it felt sort of silly to take photos because they don't really do the place justice and it sort of detracted from the experience. But here's a smattering nonetheless, to prove I was there at least.
Our host Claire told us that it would take 3 days and 4 nights to stand in front of every single object in the Louvre for one minute. IT IS MASSIVE.
I didn't realize that the museum also held artifacts, not just paintings/ sculptures.
Merp.
Seriously overwhelming to walk around here and take everything in- even the ceilings have art on them.
Venus
Unfortunate location for marble discoloration...
There's a huge garden/ collection of statues in front of the museum. Kamila and I walked around there while Sara and her friends had lunchies.
Really just excited about seeing the sun!!!
After the Louvre, Kamila and I went and ate at a corner cafe nearby. Then we wandered around by the river before meeting the other girls for the nighttime sights.
We came across this group of musicians playing an excellent rendition of "Hey Ya" by Outkast. There were actually musicians all over the place, especially on the subways and in the subway stations. I heard flutes, opera singers, accordions, and violins. Click here and here for some videos of this particular performance.
Finally got to see the top of the Tower :D
Notre Dame at night
HEY! I know that guy!
Our final destination.
