                            was messed up some how so it may look
                            different from the last time you were
                            here.

                            The real reason
                            they have reflecting pools outside the
                            Louvre.

                            Probably the
                            most famous used book store in the
                            world. Also fetured in the highlander
                            series and ya'll know I am a bit
                            irrational about that.....

                            There was not a
                            space big enough for a book that did
                            not have one it it.

                            What's amazing
                            about the tower is you see it from afar
                            and it seems closer than it is, so that
                            when you finnaly get there it sneaks up
                            on you. It really does take your breath
                            away.

                            from the second level of the tower. I
                            chickened out and did not go to the
                            top, this was plenty high for me.

                            smelled wonderful.

                            company that included lunch in the
                            gardens. This is me with my fellow day

                            by Camile Claudine. She was a student
                            and lover to Rodin. Her story is truely
                            tragic and worth looking up. I was
                            hoping to see her work while in Paris
                            and was very excited to find a couple
                            of things at the De'Orssey.
