So, that was a quaint little play on words, but it gets the point across, yes?
Today, we went to the Louvre and saw a few Middle Age to Renaissance paintings, all explained by a lovely lady, Vicki Marie, who has completed several doctorates on the subjects in Art History. It was incredible and full of great information, but my mind is a bit tired. We were there for 4 hours before stopping for a break and lunch. That was at about 2:30pm. Needless to say, we were all a bit hungry, after eating a little piece of baguette and café au lait to drink around 8:15am this morning. It was well work the hunger pains, though.
Now I'm sitting once again in the lovely spot where I can see the Eiffel Tower and rest my feet. I have been walking a lot, which I love, but my body must get used to. I finally bought stamps/envelopes to send letters to the US, so that was a victory. Now for paper to write letters on... that would be the kicker... hahaha. I'll figure that out eventually.
I'm trying to live on a budget, so spending that much money on lunch at the Louvre (and we're talking about 8 euros, was a bit painful to my pocket. So, us Taylorites have banded together to grab extra baguette in the morning and use it as part of the meal later. That's what I'll have tonight with a little PB, thanks to Mom's last minute foresight.
The weather is beautiful here... chilly at morning and night, but gorgeous during the day. Apparently the nice weather is not to last and it will soon be raining on our heads, but I'll enjoy the nice weather while I can. I went up to the terrace again today, which was very relaxing. I'm loving Paris and I want to explore more, but I need to buy a good Guide Vert and a map de la ville, ASAP. Maybe later today, maybe tomorrow. All I know is that I'm sick of worrying about money, and it's only the beginning...
