Paris Part Trois: I'm Louvrin' It

So I'm finally getting around to finishing Paris...here it goes!

These are mainly just pics beacuse it has been a while since I went there. But as of now it is definately my favorite city we've been to thus far (barely beating out Siena).

Paris at sunset. Beautiful.

Besides our gypsy encounters and nightmare hostel, we did do some tourist-y things, like go to the Louvre. It is probably the most overwhelming museum I have ever been to. I think I would need several weeks to take it all in. We went on Friday night (which for people between the ages of 18-26 is FREE!). We did the audio guided tour that took you through the highlights (Mona Lisa, etc).

The ceiling leading into the Ancient Rome area. (Tragically I didnt make it in there)

Me in front of the Mona Lisa...no flash was used, no worries.


The Statue of Venus.

On Saturday night we went to a resturant called Refuge de Fondue. There are only 2 tables that you literally have to climb over to get to your seat. 9 of us sat in a space that would typically hold 4. You don't order except for red or white wine. Then they just bring the fondue pots of cheese and oil, for cooking meat, and let you go to town. Maybe it was a long day or our gypsy instincts kicked in, but it was everyman for himself when the food came out. The people on either side of me had me pinned against the wall because they wouldn't let go of their skewers. Meat was stolen out of the pots, hot oil burned skin, and cheese was everywhere, but at the end of the meal everyone was full and happy sipping on their baby bottles.

After not being able to shower for the entire weekend, the crew, looking slick as can be, was more that ready to be back in Verona preparing for our next adventure.
