Paris avec moi

We went to the student quarter, various other quarters, and walks down little side streets of Paris that grew gardens of foliage along the sides of the buildings.

I loved the Louvre, the building, the area surrounding and being there. We walked through the Mesopotamian and Egyptian sections of the museum, but it was most intriguing just to be there, the corridors that are inside and looking out into the plazas from the windows. We walked through the basement of sorts around what felt like the mote of the original castle. We exited and went for a walk down the river and listened to a man playing flute. He hid under a bridge so just the music floated around to make the ambiance.

We visited two different cemeteries in Paris, the largest of which held Oscar Wilde and monuments for important people and people who thought they were important enough for a 10+ foot pyramid and many people who died without a just cause. It could have made a picture book all by itself. It was very solemn but fascinating.
