Paris kind of bludgeons you with its beauty. Its quite breath taking.
I like to think art has a life of its own. Much like Donatello's Mary who has to spend eternity looking at an incredibly weird sculpture of the crucifixion, good old Julius Caesar here lucks out...
...he gets to watch the ferris wheel all day long.
The entrance to the Louvre: shaped like a pyramid in honour of all the Egyptian treasures that the French seem to have which aren't in, like, Egypt.
So sweet, kids playing by the fountain.
So sweet, soldiers with machine guns playing by the fountain.
The Cathédrale De Notre Dame De Paris
The Hunchback of Notre Dame? More like the Nickelback of Notre Dame...

kinda like JFK saying 'ich bin eine berliner'. although he really said 'i am a jam donut' we'd all like to think we can rise above the hilarity of the literal translation and appreciate its spirit.
glad for your blog except we miss ruth's photos.
cheers
