More Europe

Sorry it's been so late in the game, but I figured better late than never. Enjoy these pictures.

Hotel de Ville was Mom's favorite area! It was busy and we had great baggette sandwiches.

We went to the LDS church on Sunday. It was beautiful and we got to have our sacrament lesson in English. We even met a cousin of one of our neighbors. The world is so small.

Pompidou center was so fun. The fountain was ridiculous, and people danced in it. If you can notice their was a mermaid and the fountain came from her boob. The music festival was great. Eating crepes while we listened to bands felt very hip and European.

Degas was amazing! I love him for all of his ballerinas. I can't post all of the pictures, but just know that there are alot of ballerinas.

Seeing toddler's armor is always depressing, but there were acutally some cool peices of armor in Napolean's armory.
Luxemborg Gardens were beautiful and busy. Certain grassy areas you were allowed to sit on, and they were over run by students and businessmen. People played soccer and listened to bands play.

Ah the Louvre. It had such a great underground system to get around that we really didn't go through the pyramid. We saw it from below while we shopped, but didn't go through it. The Louvre was overwhelming, but very enjoyable. We've seen enough of the virgin to last us a life time.

Monet's waterlillies were one of the best things in Paris, next to their olives. There were two oval rooms and 8 paintings in total. 4 surrounded the walls, and you observed from a bench in the middle. Each painting represented a different time of the day. We've now turned our pictures into prints and put them in our back bathroom. Memories of Paris will remain.

Our last night in Paris before heading off to Venice we went to see the Eiffel Tower at night. My pictures don't do it justice, but it was beautiful. We ate crepes and avoided gypsies. So Parisian!
