Priceless Art, Famous Coffee, and Melting Clocks

Another day came into light as we woke up on Wednesday and decided that it was definitely time to do some laundry. (I had NO clean clothes left) after laundry we started walking to the Louvre. After a wrong turn and a little turning around we started walking down the street toward the Museum. The google maps said that it was only supposed to take about 40 mins however we were walking for well over an hour.





We went inside where it was VERY busy and HUGE. walking through the different exhibits and looking at all the AMAZING paintings. as per usual you are not supposed to take pictures inside the museum with a flash and with the subdued lighting its pretty pointless to try so there is very little documentation of our time INSIDE the museum but there are a couple of videos.









All together it is a really amazing place. It would be physically impossible to see the whole thing in one day we saw about as much as we were interested in so that was cool. after the museum we went to the Great Canadian Pub and had a couple of beverages and then went shopping a little bit once we were ready to go home we hopped on the metro and decided it would be cool to go to a restaurant. We went to a little Italian place in the neighborhood and it was really tasty. the service was less then great but the food was really good.

here are a few pictures from that day...

  1. Cool pics guys! looks like your having fun! When you said you were in the museum for 4 hours and only covered 10% it reminded me of Cairo museum too. We were there for the day and did not even see half - but like you guys, saw all the items that peaked our interest!
