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!

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!

Heading to Paris!

Brandy and I are at Logan airport right now, waiting to fly to Paris! This trip is a delayed honeymoon/first-year anniversary trip. Can't wait to get there!

This picture is of Brandy posting a picture of me on her blog :). See links on the right for her blog.

In Other News

I hit a deer with my car the other night. Darn thing jumped right out in front of me on Concord Road near the Belmont/Lexington line.

It could have been much worse. I just kind of clipped its left hindquarter. The deer ran off, so hopefully it's ok. It took out my left headlight and buckled the hood a bit as you can see in the photo. My car is at the shop now, awaiting the claims adjustor.

I just hope it's fixed by next week! Brandy and I are getting married on Friday! We're going to get married at Boston City Hall in a small ceremony, which is why there hasn't been a lot of fuss made :)
