Paris! This photo will only be funny to two people- Jennie and I. Our room had these beautiful wooden beams and we were being silly and throwing our shoes at the ceiling because Char and Andy were above us. We accidentally took a small bit of the paint off with our foolishness.

This is the entrance for the Louvre, where we got to see lots of great works of art. We had used prerecorded tours of the museum by Rick Steves, which were good but things had been rearranged after the recording, so it was a little confusing. But it was free. You might want to see what they offered or shop online for a more recent tour. Did you know that anyone under the age of 18 is free? All you need is documentation of your age at the entry point. You don't even need to get a ticket.
