We are still waiting for our luggage. Air France has got it but can't seem to deliver it when we are here. It is cold today and we are still tired and jetlagged so we headed for The Louvre. On the way, we stopped to look at Le Tour de Saint Jacques, this amazing tower devoted to Saint Jacques, whoever he is! It is very tall and quite beautiful - like many things in Paris. Anyone under 18 is free at The Louvre and there were thousands of people there. It is absolutely huge so it is not crowded. It is very cool and the first thing I saw there was the Mona Lisa but we saw many other amazing things. We walked there but took the Metro back because soon that will be our main way of getting to places and we needed to know how to use it. Back at the apartment, I slept for 2 hours and Dad woke me up for dinner. I was tired and didn't want to get up but I was glad I did because we had a beautiful meal - I had sausage and vegetables, Dad had horse! - cooked by Otis, the French chef and owner of Le Taxi Jeune. Otis used to share a room with Shannon Bennett (Vue De Monde's chef and owner in Melbourne) when they were working together in London.
Bonjour! Were you surprised at how small the Mona Lisa was? I was. It was small but the crowds were big! What was your favourite thing? Mine was the pyramids outside! I hope you're not too cold...good reason to have lots of hot chocolat!
ReplyDeleteHi Mum, My favourite thing was a statue of The Sphinx in the Egyptian room and yes, I have been drinking a lot of hot chocolate! I also added to this blog about the restaurant we went to - really good food! Yummy!
