I dream of Paris

11/26/2013

Someone sent this to me. Credit to unknown creator (wasn't me) I'm sure it came from Tumblr where all good things start. 💞

Anyway, they sent it to me because they know I do dream about Paris & have for a very long time. I even dream about Paris when I'm in Paris #Inception throw back, lol but it's all good 😉 because I will be going back soon. ✈

What cities have captured your heart & dreams? Did you still love them after going there?

See you at the airport-

I Heart Paris

A rainy day in Paris

Hello! Bon Jour! This is a "Throw Back" Post. I am not in Paris Today (very sad Face) :(

All my older photos are toast (another sad face) BUT I went to my trusty Snapfish account and pulled some off there. Quality is not all that good, nor are they edited much...But Paris really doesn't need much in the way of editing.

So here are some random walking around and sightseeing pictures of Paris, enjoy!

:0 Let's go...

So what's a better thing to do on a rainy day then spend it at the Louvre? We walked over from our apartment (it’s not that close, but in Paris walking is so much fun!) there is always so much to see.

Not me in photo is random tourist

More than 8 million visitors each year, the Louvre is the world's most visited museum. it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement.

(See Wikipedia if you need more info. )

The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Philip II.

There is ALWAYS a crowd inside.

This Creeps me out --The Nike of Samothrace (winged Victory), marble, circa 190 BC
It's HUGE & Headless :X

The Mona Lisa is the Louvre's most popular attraction.

Fought the crowd to get THIS close. Always forget how small the painting really is.
Meanwhile just across from it is this SUPER large one.

See size with guy walking by.

Inside looking out.
I took about 1,000 more pictures. But I'll edit them later (maybe). I could spend YEARS inside and never fully see everything. Really LOVE the Louvre!
