The Louvre
Next stop: The Louvre. It is quite a contrast between the glass pyramid that is the museum entrance and the surrounding 17th or 18th century buildings. We zoomed by stopping only long enough to eat the leftover pastries from breakfast that survived the trip in the backpack and rest our feet. We did not, however, dip our feet in the fountains here--the water was a scummy green.

so, why is there an uber-modern glass pyramid in front of it--what's up with that?
The museum is actually under that pyramid...the buildings around it are just government buildings.
:-)
Wow! What great pictures and posts! It must have been so cool to actually *be* there and see everything for your own eyes! = )
