J'adore Paris!

We had another wonderful day in Paris... and how could you not!?!? Yesterday we visited D'Orsay a beautiful train-station converted into art museum where they have my favorite Degas statue of a ballerina as well as other amazing impressionist artist works like Monet & Renoir. 

We had a terrible waiter so Ryan proudly stole his pen.

Then we headed up to Montmartre where the bohemians live (a little Toulouse Lautrec anyone?) and to visit the La Basilique du Sacré Coeur! One of the best views in Paris from which you can see the Eiffel Tower. We stayed until well after sunset enjoying the view, had a few drinks and took a stroll by the Moulin Rouge.

Atop Sacre Coeur!

Exactly what the Louvre felt like after a few hours...

 Today we spent admiring the many many many works at the Louvre and enjoyed a very Parisian late night cafe whilst watching the locals attempt to weigh a very fat cat! Ryan was not all that impressed by the Mona Lisa, but it was interesting wandering around and watching him stumble upon (and take pictures of) some of my old favorites. Plus we got to see the Medieval Louvre which is an amazing medieval castle that they discovered underneath the current palace. I know we still didn't see everything there but after a full day indoors it sure feels like it! All in all we're having a wonderful time, we're going to be taking a little break from all the art and heading out to Versailles. But we're relying on my very poor directional skills so wish us luck!

"yeah, I can do that too..."

Just can't get enough Eiffel Tower!
