View of Paris from Pompidou................
Up again nice and early today. This morning we started off at the Cathedral of St. Denis. The chapel was full of stained glass. It is amazing to think about how much work went into making the cathedrals we’ve gone to. So many are so ornate. Later we went to Centre Pompidou. It is a modern art museum. It was not my favorite. There was too many bizarre works of art that were not pleasing to my eye. The exterior is pretty awesome though. It looks like it is not finished with all the piping on the exterior but it is finished. It did have some great views of Paris while going up the escalator, which is also on the exterior of the building. Then after having a nutella and banana crepe I headed with the group to the Louvre. This was definitely more my style of art. We went into the Napoleon apartments which had beautiful furniture and chandeliers. Then we went and saw the Mona Lisa. It sure is quite small. It was very crowded and hard to enjoy the beauty of it. We also saw the sculpture Venus de Milo. There are many more things that we saw and there was also not enough time to see it all. Afterwards I came back to the hotel all museumed out. I just took it easy and got some homework done.
