paris

ma cherie, in paris

Paris was wonderful.

where do i start?

well first, let me share the good stuff: here are the pics.

i'll bore you with my rambling later, but for now, highlight shots

walking along the seine, minutes from our apartment



notre dame--world's oldest stained glass window



inside the glass pyramid at the louvre



yeah, we saw the mona lisa there, but medusa's raft is much more compelling



as is the wedding feast


venus de milo was pretty sweet, too



and then on to the musee d'orsay, an amazing museum housed in an old train depot, to see the impressionists (and post-impressionists)

and stand inside this huge clock


you may have heard of this guy



or recognize some of his work


the hall of mirrors at versaille


louis xiv did some minor landscaping


the arc


the tower, lit up at night
