Another day at the Louvre yesterday, beating the summer crowds although by the end of the day I couldn't tell you how to shoehorn another person in there. Rachel was interested in sculpture and so we wandered through the lovely light of the Cour Marly and Cour Puget and strolled through the Grande Gallerie to prepare for another visit to view paintings. Rachel's favorite: Athena holding an Apple. Joshua gave us the rundown on the myths behind the sculptures although he refused to get involved with the story of Psyche and Cupid. He also noted that we have not toured the Mesopotamian galleries so that will be next on our list. My favorite? Diana of course. Lisa I will post a picture soon for you to share with your Diana...
And we ended our afternoon with a well-placed exit at the Metro across the street from a lovely Italian chain ice-cream shop that has become our favorite. Coconut and passionfruit go well together.
