France Photo Finale

As promised, I have made a blog of pictures. It is a little bit unorganized but if you click a picture to make it full size, you can press the next button and make it a little slideshow. (Everything will make a little more sense if you have read the previous blogs.) I'm not sure if you'll be able to see captions if you do that, though.

The Louvre:

One of the largest paintings in the Louvre.

Mona Lisa! It was behind a thick piece of bullet proof glass.

 Versailles:

The gate into the Versailles Chateau. 

Now we're inside the gate. There is a ton of gold along the building but it is hard to see in the picture.

Just one of the many fountains in Versailles Gardens outside the chateau.

A view over the gardens. It doesn't look very pretty in the picture, but it is , just trust me.

 Marie Antoinette's Personal Village:

The goats at Marie Antoinette's fake village. (Yes, that one in the background is getting into an empty bathtub. You can see one on the left is already sleeping there.)

The goat that came up to us. It was so cute!

A peacock with it's quills/feathers out.

Marie Antoinette's "traditional peasant house."

There were about ten gardens with both vegetables and flowers. This was one of them.

Eiffel Tower:

A view from the Eiffel Tower.

The light show from the grass.

Panorama from the top.

Modern Art Museum (The Pompidou):

The inside-out building. The pipes are actually color-coded based on their use.

One of my favorites. The metal ball has a cool reflection, but you can't see in the picture.

This was just fun to look at. It was called "Fruits of Passion."

This was also fun; I really liked the colors, and it took skill.

Questionable pieces.

Another one...

And another one......

My favorite... :)

Food! I thought this deserved its own section:

Appetizer (Fois gras, mini creme brulee, fois gras ice cream)

My dessert (Mille Feuille)

My sister at the crepe stand. He's making a crepe in the background.

Chocolates from a chocolatier.

A patisserie window display.

Dessert (Opera at Cafe de la Paix)

Main Course (Chicken thing)

Appetizer (shrimp roll)

Extras:

Yes. Yes, that is a bird on my sister's head. :) To bad you can't see her face because of the other bird.

Me holding a pigeon. It kind of blends in with my jacket.

We all got portraits of ourselves up at Sacre Coeur. This is me being sketched

My brother's portrait.

My sister's portrait.

The locks on the bridge. This is just one section.

Arc de Triomphe
