France: Part II

The Louvre: I have no idea why they have that big glass pyramid thing, it doesn't really fit into any of the surrounding architecture.....but it sure was fun to walk through.

Amazing

The ultimate loveseat.

Can you believe this dinning table? I have always loved looking into these mansions!

This is the Queens bed....man this is a good night shift bed to have....you could sleep all day in complete darkness!!!

I can't remember what this was called, but it was pretty dang cool! (it's a model of the Sphinx - By Jon)

This is the Venus statue, we listened to the history of it and the details about it....really interesting.
The gladiator

One of our favorite things to do in the museum was pose like the posers, because if you look at them closely, they really have some silly posses.

This is the goddess Diana...the huntress...just like me!


Seeing the Mona Lisa was pretty cool and frustrating at the same time...

I always imagined it as this big painting, but it was so tiny...however...they put it on this gigantic wall, which made it look even tinier....


not to mention the fact that there were hundreds of people in the way....I felt like I was in a mosh pit getting through there.

Jon doing the posey thing.....mummy style.

Jon thought I would get sick of all the pictures I had of him this trip, but looking back at them....the pics with Jon in them are my favorites.

Great pics! Probably the closet I'll ever get to being in the Louvre. So thanks. Also, since you are posting stuff are you feeling better?
