Paris Paris Paris

Notre Dame














At night. We didn't get to go inside during the day. It's supposed to have beautiful stained glass windows.













Julien, Sophienne, Elodie and myself. The flying girl, Elodie, is Flo's sister.




The Eiffel Tower


Standard tourist picture with the eiffel tower coming out the top of your head. At trip to Paris is not complete unless you have a picture where you look like you're wearing the tower as a hat.















They all look like busy little ants.



















The Louvre


The oddly placed glass pyramid that is the entrance to the Louvre. Everybody saw this in the "DaVinci Code."Actually, you probably saw this exact same angle. I don't care. Mine is better. :-P





I don't know about you but I like my women armless (and maybe even head-less?)






The one on the left is the one and only Venus de Milo. I found her to be quite manly looking. On the right is... well, I'm embarassed to say that I don't remember her name.
As you can see, the popular items get quite crowded in the louvre.












He looks like he's five.

We spent 5 hours in the Louvre... after which, I realized all I wanted to do was be numb to anything cultural or intelligent and watch a stupid movie.



Basilica of the Sacré Cœur












You might recognize this from the movie Amelie. This church is located in Montmartre, the highest point in Paris. What makes this church more special than the 500 other catholic churches in Paris... during WWII there were thirteen bombs dropped in this area. Miraculously, not a single soul was killed nor was this church damaged.
