Hello again, Mr. Louve in Paris

What is a visit to Paris if you don't take the time to go visit Mona? It may not be first on your list....but we wanted to get better pictures this year.....

She still seems fuzzy to me....but she is several feet away.....and behind glass....
but look at what else we found....
I think she is prettier than Mona and dressed much better....what do you think?

The wedding at Cana is quite popular...it is on the opposite wall of Mona.....Jesus performed the miracle turning the water into wine....
I tried to get a close-up of the detail here. The light is horrible and flash is not allowed....

This picture had an interesting frame....

This frame had 3 panels in the shape of a crown....

This onyx dressed lady has an owl....

OK we could be here for hours looking at all these statues...




A brief look at the courtyard with the horses of Marly.....
We looked for these last year....they are on the other side of the Louve....you need a map because you could wander for hours and get lost.....
Let's go shopping at Laduree.....buy some presents for Christmas....sshhh....and a box of macaroons.....that cost as much as a small chandelier.....just kidding...
The flavors are incredible....so much better than any other we tried......

The perfect end of the day treat.....a chocolate/banana crepe from the vendor next to the merry-go-round across the street from Tour Eiffel....

More adventures of Paris to come......stay tuned....
