Today Tommy spent his time in the Louvre.
He said when the museum opened at 9 the line moved pretty quick and he was inside within fifteen minutes.
Mom and I made our way to Rue Cler which is a super cute market street. There we found a cafe and had crêpes for breakfast.
The cute part of Rue Cler is only about a block, it's very small. So we shopped down one side then back up the next then decided to make our way to the Champs-Élysées for more shopping. A huge section of the street was closed to cars so it because a huge pedestrian area. So many shops and so many people!
Of course we had lunch at a cafe.
We met Tommy back at the apartment and decided to check out the "little" park that we can see from the living room window. Well, it's not little at all. There's like, 3 museums in there and a little zoo. Tons of flower gardens, apple and cherry blossom trees and people. The park is huge and well loved by the looks of it.
For dinner we went to, you guessed it, another cafe, and had the sautéed bouef tartare with cheese on a sesame bun.
Here's some stuff from The Lourve.
Here's your dang Mona Lisa picture.
Oh fine, here's some other stuff I found.
Winged Victory
Here's a painting of chickens protecting their chicks.
This one's a Davinci that I enjoyed more than the one everyone seems so excited about. Her drip is more on point, and she doesn't look as if she'd complain to the waiter.
I spent a bit of time in the Etruscan section. There were less people and for some reason I'm into pre-Roman Italian city states. I learned sometimes they'd bury the urns of their dead and put a pot on top.

Tomorrow is another food tour and hopefully a church with a tower tour!







You saw the Mona Lisa! They filmed National Treasure there!
