Ohhh no! I just realized something sad and awful. I have been back in Lacoste from Paris for 6 days now and it had taken me FOREVER to upload my photos and I thought I had them all, but they were still on my camera because I wanted to make sure.
Well today was Halloween, and I deleted A BUNCH of photos off one of my memory cards that I THOUGHT I had uploaded already. Wrong. So I lost most all of my photos from Paris Day 5, which is all that was on that memory card. Sad. But good thing is, they are mostly photos of artwork in the Louvre, which are boring anyways. There are better images of what I took on google images. Oh well.
So anyways…
Our final day in Paris was Sunday, day 5, and the Fibers girls got up early to go to a flea market with Pam. I didn’t take any photos there because everyone was really weird about taking photos of their antiques and trash that they were trying to sell. I still can’t figure out why they were so weird about taking photos. But whatever. So I didn’t delete any photos of that!
After the flea market, Kara and I went and walked towards the Louvre, stopped at a Starbucks, and continued on.
We then toured the painting section of the Louvre and did a bit of the sculpture. We were there for quite some time, and afterward, we went BACK to the Decorative Arts Museum because we had missed a major exhibit, which was the main reason Pam wanted us to go there. It was an AMAZING exhibit, and you weren’t allowed to take photos in there, so I only lost the photos that I took before I knew no photos were allowed. But the exhibit was of a fashion designer, Madeleine Vionnet and she made INCREDIBLE dresses. So beautiful. Kara and I were freaking out. There is a book of hers that I plan on ordering off Amazon when I get back home.
We saw stuff like this:
After we stood drooling on the glass in front of the dresses, we eventually left, and just moseyed around Paris until it was time to leave.
We also stopped at the Notre Dame. I freaking love that cathedral. Thankfully, my photos of it are still in existence!
No better way to instill fear in your congregation than putting sculptures of people being tortured in Hell for you to look at as you’re walking through the door:
Man, I don’t even like architecture that much, but that building is amazing.
The rest of the day consisted of us being frustrated that every store is closed in Paris because it was a Sunday, and then catching the train home and being exhausted!
Oh man, I loved Paris. It was so amazing.
great photos in your blog!
