back to the louvre

DAY 5, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29

We head back to the louvre to soak up some more art.

considering rubens

Here is a student studying the masters at the louvre.

That evening just outside the louvre we sit and watch the sun set. I can see how artists were inspired to paint these skies and I always thought those paintings looked a little fake. They aren't. The skies are unreal. Daniel journals while the lights come up on the ferris wheel. There is a feeling of celebration in the air as families are gathering for a fun summer night. Anybody know the french word for cotton candy?
