The Louvre

Today we walked from Alana and Samuel’s apartment to the Louvre. It was a bit drizzly, but an incredibly enjoyable walk. The Louvre was astonishing, from the outside in - I could have spent days strolling the art, as well as the exterior gardens.

I started getting super sleep about halfway through – as I was jetlagged and up most of the previous night (compounded with the past 2 days of sleepless travel). I actually fell asleep sitting on a bench, leaning on Gregg. We saw the winged victory of Samothrace, my favorite sculpture of all time – the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo – and several other gems that I shan’t list all by name. We looked at tickets round the world to see where our travels would take us – and have opted for the Carribbean. We are flying home on April 12th to NYC – and then will travel onto Miami from there, and then onto the Carribbean. I am not sure which locale at this point.

We came home to a fantastic Shabbat dinner, Gregg’s first experience with Shabbat.
