Holy crap. Paris could possibly be the coolest place I have ever been. Even though we were only there for two days, we got a lot in. As WIFI at our hotel was only available in the lobby, I could not keep you all up to date with what was happening. On top of that, I couldn't figure out how to login to update my blog as being in Paris, the login page was all different.
We did make it to the Louvre which was the biggest museum I have ever seen. We waited in line for about 15 minutes to get a ticket because someone didn't buy theirs online. "Wasn't me." After we got in, we spent a total of probably 40 minutes there. We had to see the Mona Lisa, which was not as impressive as I imagined, along with the Winged Victory, a 190 BC statute of the Greek goddess Nike.
Everywhere you looked there was something really beautiful in Paris. The picture above is leaving the Louvre. The Seine river is between where this shot is taken and the Eiffel Tower, where approximately 50 artists have booths set up were they their drawings and paintings.
This is a picture of the Pantheon from the cafe where I had a glass of wine. This also happened to be the cafe we saw two couple getting into a fight. Evidently one woman threw water onto the man in the other car. The cars stopped, one woman took off running with the other woman chasing behind. Meanwhile one of the guys got out, walked to the other guys car, opened the door, and started punching him. Wild.
Here is the Arc de Triumphe, also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. It was impressive. I got back to London last night about 5 pm and took it easy. I ordered a pizza and watched a little bit of streamed TV. I got a good ten hours of sleep and woke up feeling refreshed. This is my last week of classes before exams and then home. Until next time...
