Raise the roof!

We've got a big addition underway on our house. Check out pictures and daily reports here: joebrandyhouse.blogspot.com

Paris at Night

Our first real day in Paris was magnificent. This picture is the view right outside of our hotel.

Spoiler Warning

For those of you who've read "The Da Vinci Code", this double pyramid is particularly significant.

One interesting thing about this feature is that it's not actually in the museum proper. There is an entire Shopping Mall down underground by the Louvre! It has an Apple Store and a McDonalds. I bought the sdcard adapter for my iPad at the Apple store :)

Venus de Milo

We saw the Venus de Milo at a particularly nice time of day. Sunlight through the window lit her perfectly.

The Mona Lisa

Brandy sure is happy to be standing in the huge crowd viewing The Mona Lisa!

Brandy outside the Louvre

On Friday we visited the Louvre. What an incredible museum! So much to look at. We actually skipped about 1/3 of the place. We did hit the highlights though: The Mona Lisa, Venus di Milo, and the underground moat/foundation.

Hotel de Crillion

Our hotel room...very nice :). However, next time call ahead and arrange early check-in. We had to hang out around Paris for 7 hours before we got into our room. Normally not a bad thing, but after an overnight flight all we really wanted was a shower and a nap!
