Rue Cler

Rue Cler

Speaking of internet, I usually go to Rue Cler to get good things to eat and use the internet cafe. It is a pedestrian street lined with flower shops, cafes, cheese shops, meat stores, bread stores...a wonderful place.

Musee D'Orsay

The D'Orsay is my favorite museum. It is just the right size and holds all of my favorite painters work. Monet, Manet, Millet,(keep those straight:) Vangogh, Gaugain, Seraut, Renoir...not sure if i spelled those right, but im in a hurry...internet is expensive:)

Jardin du Carousel

I spent a good part of this day sitting by a fountain writing in my journal, I was equal distance from the Louvre, the D'Orsay and the ferris wheel. The pidgeons are making me crazy...but I will not be defeated;)

Tour Eiffel

This is the view just outside the flat I'm renting. The guy Im renting the flat from has gone to Bali for the month, but before he left he took me to the Eiffel Tour on his way to work (he works there). Its a short walk from the flat. Instead of waiting in line for hours (like the rest of the tourists) we went right up. After a short personal tour, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes...its good to know people.

Louvre

Went to the Louvre yesterday...it really is too much--I only floated past a few favorite rooms, visiting Mona, Winged Victory, Venus di Milo, Raft of the Medeusa, Liberty Guiding the people...and lots of sculptures.

Champs Elysees

There are twinkling lights all down the Champs Elysees for the holiday. They twinkle like snowflakes falling, very pretty. Not a great photo, but you get the idea??
