Ah Paris, I love you so… There are so many interesting things to do and see – a week is just not enough. I guess I’ll just have to keep coming back until I’m done 🙂 We are staying in a fantastic location on the Ile Saint-Louis in the centre of Paris. Close to everything with a boucherie, a boulangerie and fromagerie just outside the door and on a street of restaurants. I may put on 5 kilos in Paris alone.

We went to the Louvre today <sigh>. It was pretty big (actually, that’s somewhat of an understatement) and had a fabulous collection, but I think I’m just over art galleries and wandering around seeing the same kind of paintings over and over again. I know I shouldn’t diss the Mona Lisa, but it didn’t seem all that special quite frankly. Not that the queue milling around thought the same. In fact my exposure to the Mona Lisa was actually a backward glance over my shoulder as I walked past the crowd *lol*. Please try not to swoon all you art lovers, but I’ll reserve my praise for my personal fave; Monet who is and has always been da man.
