I think that I changed the settings so that anyone can post, even people who don't have blogger (or gmail) accounts. I mean, I can be somewhat challenged with computers, but I really do think I did that. Anyway, feel free to post a comment!

Some of the museums and random locations of Paris

So on to some of the things I've been seeing in Paris... Since last I updated, I went to two museums, the Rodin and the Louvre. (I also went to the Musee d'Orsay, but didn't take any pictures, whoops!) Here are some of the highlights from my Paris adventures:
The Thinker at the Musee Rodin in the gardens (which are spectacular and I will take more pictures of them in the spring when it's nicer):
The Kiss, or a terracotta version of it from the side:

At the Louvre, Hammurabi's Code. I pretty much went crazy over this thing:
In the Tuilleries (between the Louvre and Place de la Concorde) I saw some kids sailing miniature boats:
Then, finally, the metro station at Rennes, right below the outdoor market on Raspail I go to every Friday. It says "Direction Montparnasse" on this side and "Direction Montmartre" on the other in case you get lost in the metro station:

Fontainebleau and Château de Cély

Our most recent trip was just outside of Paris at the Château de Fontainebleau. It is a gorgeous castle which was used by many French kings, like Francois I and Henri IV. It was a slightly cloudy day, but I got some beautiful pictures outside and inside:
This is the library:
Here is Marie Antoinette's bed, although she never actually slept in it...
The king's thrown. Looks pretty comfortable:
And this is Napoleon's bed. It was very short (there's a mirror in the back in case you can't see) and he had a couple stairs going up to it. This is just a wild guess, but I don't think he was too tall:
Courtyard hallway:
Napoleon I cologne, I'm not joking. Someone tried it on and said it smelled terrible:

Me, Molli, and Julie on the front steps:
Then we went to the Château de Cély, where we had a delicious three-course lunch. It was delicious and the first time I'd ever had lunch in a château!


Well, au revoir for now!
