L'Arc du Triomphe
THE GNOME RIDING THE SNAIL- or my namesake.
Sacre Coeur. Oh and me. It was a really crappy day weather wise.
At the Louve
From Sacre Coeur you have an amazing view of Paris. Unfotunately it was very cloudy.
the sun over the Seine
at the flower market
Notre Dame and its gardens.
A sunset on the Seine. Gorgeous. Trust me. We took a few moments of our day to laugh about how we are in Paris and you are not.
I think this is getting excessive.
me at the flower market...I really liked it.
Notre Dame at night.
me and Notre Dame. NOTE: I look like crap because I had just been caught in a downpour, not because I look like crap normally. Well, maybe i do look like crap normally, but thats why I look like crap here.
Yep, it is. Last one I swear.
more.
Feast in Montmartre!

A hazy view of the Seine from the Town of Vernon
Me + Notre Dame
Yes thats right. That is a single serving- portable boxed wine that we took with us on our pique-nique to Versailles.
Vernon
This is the house where Vincent van Gogh lived (with his brother) for two years. Pretty cool huh?
I like this one.
Versailles
Another View of the Seine as I was walking the 6km from Vernon to Giverney (Monet's home and gardens)
Me.
Notre Dame- the back
Along the walk
This basically sums up my trip. I have become an obsessive journaler.
I don't know why people only take pictures of the front.
Anna approves of Versailles.
more walking.
Me. Still looking like crap.
Me with the feast.
The lawn of Sacre Coeur and the obstruced view.
The Gardens at Giverney
wine for said feast.
The cloudy skies.
some nice flowers in said Gardens. I think the bee is a particularly nice touch.
Nice, huh?

It cleared up a little later on.

Brungardt
The Salvador Dali museum.
Me in the gardens
Versailles is happy to have me.
More Giverney
We are happy to be there.
Did you know Dali was into fashion design? I sure didn't. (He also has his own line of Perfume with Chanel that he created- he and Coco were buds)

Me at the museum.
Thanks Versailles! You were fun.
I dont know why I put this one up.
The Space Elephant.

It is illegal to walk on the grass in France so the "gardens" look like this.

The Marie de Medici fountain.
Yes this is a photo of Anna with a giant Vicking Playmobile.
Les jardins du Luxembourg
Yes. Here I am as well.
The fountain closer up. I like how you can see me taking the picture in my glasses.
