Day 4- The Louvre take 2



We took a leisurely approach to our 4th day in Paris.



Because we get in free to the Museums we decided to go back to the Louvre and do another wing. FYI you are not going to see everything in the Louvre unless you spend at least a week there, get on line and pick out the things that you must see go to those and then enjoy the things you see on the way!





We learned that the Louvre is built inside a castle and some of the footings are still there.



I could have stayed in the basement all day. Paris doesn't believe in air conditioning, apparently it is hot for 2 weeks out of the year... we were there for one of those weeks.

We got to see this pyramid, which is not under this one(like I thought it was)




After the Louvre we took a walk down the gardens and attempted to visit Les Petite Palace but it was about to close so we put it on the plans for the next day.
We ordered sushi from a place just down from our apartment, put on Gladiator(one of the few English DVD's there) opened the balcony doors and prayed for a breeze to cool the place off before bed.
