Paris: the Louvre and Montmarte

We did the audio tour for part of the Louvre. It was fascinating, but there was so much information we couldn't possibly take it all in. After 4 hours, we quit. Seth and Cassy are listening intently to the audio description of the Mona Lisa (I think), which is at the other end of this hall.

I was trampled. Barely made it out alive.}

Next was the Opera House (I think. I can't remember the order we did everything, but my outfit is the same in these pictures so I can safely deduce this was all in the same day). It was absolutely beautiful.

Then we headed to Montmarte. This is where Paris became less "city" and more "quaint Parisian streets". There were artists in a big square selling their artwork (beautiful) and nice little shops scattered everwhere. Still, a busy area so the shops were pretty touristy. But fun. At the top of the hill is the church Sacre Coeur, or the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Paris. There were great views of Paris.

man, I've got a ton of pictures. There are a couple more posts coming from Paris, because I love it, and then we go to Rome, because it's incredible. And then a giveaway, and then I sew. Hopefully. Because I need to make something soon or I'm gonna bust. This blog will return to its crafty roots...eventually. maybe.
