Day 9 (Jan 2) - The Louvre, Take 3 [ Day 8 | Index | Day 10 ]

Dammit, it's our last day, and we're seeing The Louvre. So we get there around 9:00, and the line is already way past the pyramid. Not again. But it was a short wait, and La Louvre was free for some reason! If we understood French TV we might've known that ahead of time, but we were a bit too distracted by the strange bouncing chicken to derive any real meaning from it. Once inside, Sarah endlessly impressed me with her Art History knowledge by saying stuff like, "What's that one?" and "Weird, who painted this?" (Apparently we both payed attension in collidge.) Irregardless, it was cool, minus the oddly hurried march past the Mona Lisa ("move along people...") Anyways, Sarah got a bit loopy around the 4 hour mark, so we took off for the Luxembourg Gardens, along the way trying (for the 3rd time) to buy Sarah her French blouse, to no avail. The shop was always closed. WTF? We wrapped our last day with another dinner at L'Epicerie and an educational discourse on flounces. Tomorrow, Italy!

Oh, just look at Zee Loove! Sarah getting all artsy FREE (Void in Vermont) Best Venus de Milo pic EVER Greek Art: Look at my penis Roman Art: Look at my penis French Art: Look at my penis Sarah fading (step 1) Line to the Mona Lisa Problems painting John the Baptist's finger Sarah fading (step 2) Virgin, on the Rocks "Dude, you have a knife in your head!" "It's cool, I'm OK." Sarah fading (step 3) This room, like so many others, was cooler than what was in it View looking out of the Louvre Napoleon's living room... ...and dining room... ...and bedroom. This bed is REALLY short. Funny. My own Napoleonic Impression Sarah loopily laughing at Diana with her "deer" "Homosexual sex, without noses" "3 hot chicks, in marble" Sarah's getting giddy... ...as she plays hide-and-seek behind 2000 year old statues Some cool bronze Roman sculpture And it's official, Sarah's lost it The Code of Hammurabi (first laws) Hi Dad! Admit it, you're jealous. Sarah and her people - The Bottocelli Girls Winged Glory... or was it Victory? Huge Greek arch inside the Louvre (check out Sarah) They just don't do erotic art like they used to View on the way out of the Louvre Look! Sarah's happy again!
