There's Dad enjoying life drinking coffee and eating a croissant. But the paper he's reading talks all about people dying. That just about ruined the moment. |
That's Mom standing in front of the Pompidou Museum, a very.... interesting and modern type of museum.... that was built... inside..... out...... Hmph. |
Inside the Pompidou Museum there was a very, very long corridor. To bad that crowd is in the way so you can't see the end of it. |
This is just an average alley in Paris. The architecture is beautiful. The re-creation in Disney World actually wasn't that bad, it looked quite a bit like this... |
One of the many, MANY enterances to the Louvre Museum where Mona Lisa sits with here secret messages (as said by "The DaVinci Code) |
Here's the famous pyramid that is inside the Louvre. It's really cool in real life, a lot better than the pictures. |
Up, up, up we go on the esculator to see a nice view and lots of nice artwork that after 2 or 3 of them REALLY does get boring. |
here's that view! It was taken through the window of the Louvre building. The glass Pyramid is just to the left, but you can see the Eiffel Tower from here. |
Then we got lost looking for some famous place to eat. That's the thing with famous places - they're always hard to find. |
So we went to a little park, and I took a picture of myself LOOKING like I didn't care, just to try to get a picture that doesn't look like I took it myself. |
Some old guy (ok, a very kind elderly man with wrinkles) and some young kids were feeding birds on a fountain. I really like this picture. |
And Dad took his one and only picture for the Vacation here, so of course I had to document it because it's a once-in-a-lifetime event. |
It think that this was a bank or something. Nice angle, it kind of pops out of the picture the way that the picture is set up. |
We met Arlene there and she showed us her house (okay, really, REALLY nice house) and we sat around and talked and had fun. |
The D'orsay Museum which was originally an old train station. Well, I thought that these columns would make a cool shot. |
Here's a great picture of Dad smiling one night at dinner. Really great picture, Dad's smile really is great. |
Then another night with Dad and Mom. I like this picture even more than the last one. The flash reflection on the wine glasses are nice. |
Then on ANOTHER night some passing French person (big surprise, huh?) took this picture of all 3 of us. The background is really cool. |
