A Day at the Louvre

So I want to take full advantage of my Carte Orange (a metro pass that you pay for a month at a time and you get to use the entire metro and bus system in Paris) and go into Paris for the second day in a row... I went with Mat, Chessa, and Alex and we decided to grab food in the Latin Quarter (I swear, I had the best Nutella crepe EVER) and then hit up the Louvre for the afternoon...




Think I'm a tad obsessed?



Justice department (actual gold leaf)



I see GRASS!!!! I miss green things...



You can see the Eiffel Tower in the distance



:)



Probably one of my favorite pictures that I've taken so far.... Metro and la Tour Eiffel... :-D



And me!



They have these little "shops" all along the Seine



A double decker bus!



Back again



In the daylight



The machine that cleans the pyramid



Cool fountain



Me and Mathieu!



I really like this statue... I found a figurine at one of the giftshops and am debating on whether or not I should get it...



The ceilings are gorgeous...



Look at the detail!



There was a lot of religious artwork



*sigh*



For some odd reason, this is one of my favorite paintings so far (of John the Baptist). Kind of reminds me of the characters in A Nightmare Before Christmas.



Oh my gosh... These paintings were huge and you would NOT BELIEVE the amount of detail...



The other one




A close up of a tiny portion of the first painting



It's Alex! :)



Mat decided to try on my things... Silly boy...



This was another one of my favorites...



I love his expression....



And look at her hands!



This guy made me laugh :)



Buddies?



Creepy...



I decided to be a bandit



It's about my height



Together :)



This room is amazing.... You walk into this ginormous space and all these huge marble statues are there... It's so... AMAZING!



Closer



I have no idea how they could do the detail on these marble statues...
