Monday was our final day in Paris. It was the first truly sunny day the entire time we were there. And of course no trip to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Louvre. Here were a few of my favorite parts:
 |
| The Louvre |
 |
| Atrium in the Louvre |
 |
| Winged Victory... seeing this in real life literally took my breath away |
 |
| Inside the Denon Wing |
 |
| Madonna of the Rocks- Leonardo Da Vinci |
 |
| BEAUTIFUL ceilings |
 |
| real mummy |
 |
| seated scribe of sagara |
 |
| best salad ever |
After that we headed back to our neighborhood, got the best salad I have ever eaten in my life (lettuce, tomato, toasted bread with goats cheese, and fried potatoes... so good!), picked up our luggage and got on the train to Rome for our 16 hour ride. It was not the most pleasant experience. There is no shower and very little toilet paper on board. But when we finally did arrive it was well worth the wait. Our bus from the train station to our neighborhood, Trastevere, took us right past the Coliseum and the Trajan Markets. So crazy. And our school is in a palazzo… a five minute walk from the Vatican. Unfortunately things have been so busy trying to move in that I have not photographed anything here yet. Its coming soon I promise. Until then, Arrivederchi.
