So I took a night train from Florence to Paris last night, and already I am liking this country, and it somehow surprised me how excited I was when I arrived. The people are not as cold as I expected (perhaps it is just that the Italians are worse) and the city is so clean! How does a city this big manage it?
So far I have seen Notre Dame, which was beautiful, Sainte-Chapelle, which wasn't as wonderful as I anticipated, the Deportation Memorial, which was moving in its compellingly simple construction, and the Roudin Museum, which has introduced me to a new favorite artist. The Thinker was powerful..heck, ALL of the sculptures were powerful in their rich emotions. I took pictures of some of my favorites. Look forward to those once I am in Erfurt!
Tomorrow, I am off to the Louvre. Good luck retrieving me!!

I love reading your bloggings about France. All of the places that you talk about I have been to!!! It just makes me remember how amazing it really all is. Did you get to see the artists' district in Paris which is in front of Sacre-Coeur - it truly is one of a kind! I brought back pictures from there that are now hanging in my room at home.
Also I give you major props for doing D'Orsay and the Louve! Personally the gift shops the Louve - way cool also lol. I hope you got to see Louis XIV's quarters when he lived there. Maggie and I both agreed when we were there that the chandliers are worth more than our houses!! Hahaha.
There was just so much to see that I wish I could go back! I'm sure that you will have some amazing pictures! I can't wait to see them :)
