Picasso Museum, Paris

September 23, 2009 //

The same day we took in the sights of 'Amelie' we went to the Picasso museum. No photos are allowed inside but outside there are some really creative photo opps. Enjoy! I think this is officially the last Paris post! I've enjoyed doing these so much. I hope it's made your heart smile too.

Notre Dame

September 20, 2009 //
0

A place that touches me and moves me so deeply. A place where I left with a headache because I cried quiet tears as I walked through even though I wanted to openly cry: my soul wanted to cry loudly. I believe that the sorrows that have been shared, the loved ones prayed for, the deaths, the candles that have been lit to remember are so heavy here. Blessings on this special place, Notre Dame. I took the exterior photos and husband took the interiors.

Our Second Time Around at The Louvre

September 14, 2009 //
0

The first time we tried to go to the Louvre it was a free day and the line wrapped around the pyramid and way out into the square. Insane amounts of people, we almost got pick pocketed by a very clever, charming, dirty and disgusting guy, and then we got out of there fast. So here are some photos from this amazing place. Just please, don't go in the summer time on a free day. Just don't.

7-6-2009 2-58-48 AM_1626 by waxpancake.
Outside, of course.
