The Start of My Grand Adventure

Well it has been a busy week moving in, cleaning, organizing, but now I feel if for some reason something happened and I needed to leave Paris I would feel good doing so. Since I’ve been in Paris I have seen the Eiffel Tour, Arc de Triomphe, Place de Concorde, Walked the Seine, And I have now seen the inside of the Louvre and walked it’s halls. Today Kristin and I decided to take the girls out because we will be “stuck” in the house tomorrow and Monday because we have lovely new appliances coming and being installed, since we have blown the circuit with converters one too many times. We took the metro from our little stop in Neuilly straight into the heart of the Louvre. We stopped and admired beautiful paintings and sculptures. It was wonderful watching Caity and Addie, eyes and mouths wide open staring at the paintings and sculptures. It baffles me at how young they are but how well behaved they were and how interested they were in all of it. Once we had seen the Mona Lisa, we decided to walk through who knows where really but the artwork on the ceilings of the Louvre were just amazing and breathtaking. It is hard to walk through a place like that and not praise the Lord. I am continually awed by our God and his glory. We continued our journey through the Louvre and landed in Egyptian artifacts, which Addie was absolutely fascinated with we went around the exhibit twice. I am so speechless, I cannot begin to truly explain how great today was. This city is amazing!
