Loving the Louvre

From a recommendation from a newly released missionary and his parents atop the Eiffel Tower (we had these mormon run ins everyday, weird) we started the day off at Napoleon’s Palace. This included WW2 stuff, knight gear, weapons, Napoleon’s tomb, cathedral, and that was only a small part of it. When we were done hanging out with Napoleon we visited the Opera House. All I have to say is I am dying to go see a ballet or opera in this magnificent building. It is probably one of the most gorgeous places I have been in. A fashion show was being held at the La Fayette department store but plans were foiled when you had to have an appointment to see it. We were bummed but checked out the shopping. While searching for the perfume museum we happened upon Mango. We made a stop in where I found the most gorgeous coats that man has ever created but yet I couldn’t justify the price sadly. The perfume museum was a failed attempt so we gorged ourselves on bread while waiting for student night at the Louvre to start. Apparently Friday night has extended hours where students gets in for free!! I am not going to lie it was an overwhelming experience and basically had a panic attack thinking about where to even begin. I was pleased with seeing my favorite statue of all time The Nike of Samothrace. Me and Emily basically walked the entire museum to try to see all the highlights. I admired Ruebens, countless Da Vinci’s (interfaced with Mona), Gericault’s, David’s, Venus di Milo, Reclining Couple, and the Seated Ramses to name just a few. Once again we had great success with dinner eating more steak frites, French onion soup, and blissful chocolate mousse. A round of escargot was ordered but lets be honest we couldn’t come to France and not try it. I rather enjoyed it actually quite a lot and I tried pate which also was pleasing to the senses. When I was attempting to get the meat out of the shell I had a pretty women experience and the line "slippery little sucker" kept running through my head.
