My Louvre

the journey to Louvre begins in Notre dam. First stop - St. Michel metro stop. The we walked towards the Notre dam. It was about 5-10 minutes walk. This cathedral was magnificent. it is also where they got the idea to make the cartoon - hunchback of notredam .

after going in and taking some pictures, we continued our walk towards the louvre.

We walked, and walked along the Seine River. Snapping some pictures on the way. It was a fine weather to be walking! And the scenery…wow, it makes me feel as if I am in another world!

Finally, we arrived in The Louvre. The Louvre was actually a palace during the time of Capetian Dynasty under the reign of Philip II. I can never imagine how BIG it was until i was actually there. It is tone of the world’s largest art museum. Some of the other largest ones are Hermitage in St. Petersburg and National Art Gallery in London. I’ve walk through 2 of the largest art museum. And planning to go to Hermitage next year. =p

OK, short story, more pictures!

Note to myself - one of my dream come true. Ever since I read DaVinci Code, I’ve always wanted to come see for myself the Louvre. Of course the book didnt mention that it was an art gallery..etc. I guess all i wanted was to come see the pyramid in Lourve. And I did! A great achievement for my winter break this year! You see, I manage to visit 3 places I’ve always wanted to come since I was a kid - Disneyland (since I was 12..i cant remember, it’s every kid’s dream!), Stone Henge (since i was 13) and Louvre, since i read DaVinCi code.

The Lord will give to you the desire of your heart….and abundantly! Not only did i get to visit these places, I got to see things I never ever think it was possible for me! Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, Duomo, Eiffel Tower and so much more. These are the things that never even occur to me that one day I might see them. But God is really great! He gave me the great privilage to see them…

Anyway, this never ending story shall continue next time. I’ve got to go to the market to get some food for dinner! ^^
