American Girl in Paris


Ok. So basically, blogging-wise I really
really lapsed during the last part of my trip. Rest assured many great sites were seen and many great pictures were taken! Here are some from my beautiful weekend in Paris!

Apprécier des amis !

L'Arche de Triomphe...

Apple Love in the City of Love..

Le Louvre!



The "key" to the DaVinci Code. Or so I am told...

The ANCIENT EGYPT exhibit!!!!
Seriously, the ancient Egyptians were rockstars. I LOVED this exhibit!

Why, yes! Those ARE mummified cats!
Pots for organs n'such...

Toys of the dead...because the afterlife can get really, really boring.

To my fellow tourist from L.A...if it's in the LOUVRE, yes. It is a REAL mummy.

More, non-Egyptian, artsy stuff...

Napoleon: the ultimate short-guy complex, or a really bad stylist. You be the judge. (Note the tiger saddle).

And of course, this famous lady. Not sure what I love most about this picture, Mona or Mona in the other cameras.

Strolling down the Champs-Elysees...
Versailles!





If I lived here, I wouldn't care of the peasants ate cake all day either...

THE Opera House! (**The following picture are best viewed with the "Phantom of the Opera" soundtrack playing in your head...)




Some more sites of the city...

Just before we left it started to rain. And even in the rain the city was beautiful.

Au revoir, Paris!

I didn't know you saw Versailles!!!! I'm so jealous! I taught about that place so much last semester and I can't believe I'm just now seeing your pictures of it. Great shots though. I'm glad you had so much fun on your European adventure.
