Ok folks, here's the 100+ Louvre photos I took on Sunday :D Some may be crappy or out of focus, I have neither the time nor the enrgy to fix em up and sort them right now. I will upload my Eiffel Tower pics from last night later on today!! And now, I'm off to the Rodin Museum!! :bounce:

I looooove you all (well, most of you at least :P ) and I miss you too. After today, 8 more days, and then I'm fucking home!! :D

1. Ooooh...The Louvre.

Those look nice. :)

Are you going to have a chance to see the D'Orsay? My parents said that was their favorite museum in Paris.

3. I dunno, I may

I'm really set on the Picasso Museum, and Versailles right now...it all depends on how I feel and what happens in the next week. I may go on my last day, if I have everything else wrapped up, so to speak. :)

2. Cool!

I spent precious little time in there in the full eight hours I was in Paris seven years ago. It's an amazing museum! :hi:

Au revoir,

8. Beautiful. The first thing I ever did on the web was to "tour" the Louvre.

I was able to go not long after that. Beautiful and awe-inspiring... really too much to see. That goes for all of Paris.

If you're more into modern or impressionist art, check out L'Orangerie. It's the museum where most of those masters are displayed. I think it's kind of catacorner and across the Tuileries from the Louvre... but my memory is fading (and my French spelling is probably worse).

12. Musee de L'Orangerie is closed right now

:( Renovations or something...C'est la vie! :P

9. Wait, now you can't wait to get BACK?

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Damn straight homie

Counting the hours...I can always come back to this...um, city. :P I'm a rural girl, and the noise, and the people are driving me bonkers!! Also, I'm lonesome, here all alone. x(

Besides....I reallllly need to get laid. :D (and i don't get down with strangers, generally)

[Taverner]

14. Awesome

And I see you visited Saint Jim's grave as well :)

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Only b/c my mom asked me to...

I wasn't gonna, but she asked, so I did. I was far more interested in Piaf's and Callas'... :P

16. I remember when I went there, all hopped up because i

was gonna see Mona Lisa. I was disappointed because she was so small.
The thing that knocked my socks off was Winged Victory, though. I still remember (and this was in 1959) how I felt when I saw that.

The ceilings were a WOW too. I was too young to really truly appreciate all I was seeing, sad to say.

great photos

17. I bawled in the Louvre

it really was an overwhelming experience.

Thanks for the pics!
