Day at the Lourve.

Bonsoir a tous!
Since my brain is mush and I cant remember what has happened since the last time I blogged, I'm just going to move on.
Oh wait, I have started French lessons with the university, and still have no idea about what else I'm supposed to do yet.

Anyway. Today being saturday, some of the exchange girls and I decided we'd hit the lourve. And guess what, we totally get in for free. So sweet. Hope its the same at most of the museums. So you will probably see a few lourve updates since we probably only saw like 1/10 of what was on display. The place is massive.


Some pretty amazing works, and the setting is pretty nice hey.

I didnt particularly like the random sculptures of this guy Cragg, black and chunky with all these pristine sculptures? Yeah... weirdo.

Creepy dog...



This was epic, really interesting sculptures in this room.

Leeches!



Just the lourve ceiling...

Even I can find food sculpture in the lourve. :P

Rembrandt. So very awesome.

This was a room for artists in residence I guess. This guy was really good, there was a lady in the previous room that was terrrrible. She must have felt so bad.

The view from the lourve.

Another replica. So... how do you know if the paintings are real huh?

Another creepy dog...

This view from the lourve is part of my walk to uni. Pretty special huh?

Another view of the ceiling...

Pretties.

The architecture seems to change a lot with each room you enter. Its fairly interesting.

A random contemporary art work...

The room with the Mona Lisa. Every other part of the lourve is like 4 people in a room. This room is packed... I want the mona lisa on a tea towel. Yet to find one though...

A view to the storage/restoration room? I so would love to get to look at the restoration side of things.

Oh and you know, Eclairs...

The shopping centre is pretty lavish, check out the pipes!

Paella! Yumyum.

After the lourve we went on a journey to montmartre to look at some fabric shops. The place is filled with stores overflowing with fabrics. This is outside one of the shops. There are also lots of crazy costume places here, that sell these outfits for supercheap. Insane!

So many trimming stores too... good to know where they are. This one had an entire back wall of buttons!

And a pretty dress in the window.

and to end, some food. I didnt have this tonight, I had chinese, but at some point in the last week, I ate this, and it was yum. Creamy mushroom sauce on roast chicken and creamy polenta.
I really like food.
