When we got to Paris it was raining. We only had one day since we missed our flight that morning (that is a whole different post). Although it was raining we still went to the Louvre and saw all the sights at night. The Eiffel Tower and the Arch De Trioumph (Spell Check). Here are the pictures of Paris at night. We have taken about 300 pictures a day so I am doing my best to pick the best ones and put them up here. I have been trying to label them as we go so I don't forget what everything was. Anyway here are the pictures of Paris at night.

Rome and Paris
Sculpture of John the Baptist's Head on a platter (The Louvre Paris)
My favorite sculpture in the Louvre. It is Cupid and Psyche, this is just before Cupid Kisses her and brings her back to life after being killed by the beauty vapors in a vase given to her by Aphrodite. Read the myth it is a pretty neat story.
The Dying Slave, Michaelangelo sculpted this at the age of 28.
THE MONA LISA (Paris)Please ignore the bandana, I had to throw my mousse away in Rome becuase the airline didn't allow our toiletries bag on the plane because it was too heavy.
Venus Di Milo At the Louvre in Paris
Columns in the Louvre in Paris
Fountains in Rome at night.
The Colosseum at night. Absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!
