Hello! This is going to be the post full of photos that I promised you. It's all of the Louvre. Love all of the ancient things, the coins and the jewlery and stuff. And there are a lot of really pretty paintings towards the end there, as well as some breathtaking photos of the great glass pyramid(s) at night when they're all lit up!

| According to Elizabeth, this is my Renaissance doppelganger. |

| I truly think she is DeVinci's most beautiful portrait |

| I think she's just the cutest girl ever! |

| stupid huge pane of glass made my picture of the Mona Lisa very sub par! |

| I just think that it's the funniest thing that they have a "Nintendo 3DS Audioguide" for the Louvre...it's almost as awesome as the fact that they have a Marie Antionette (or something like that) video game on sale at Versailles...though that's a story for another time...spoilers! Teehee! |
Ok! That's more like it! I am sorry for my overly contemplative post from yesterday. I guess that I have had too much time to think, and when I was homesick I watched a little too much Doctor Who! Love you guys! Hope that I can write another real post soon!
Woah! you got to see the real art. Like, not a copy or postcard or picture but like the REAL art. SO COOL!
