The Louvre-ing Metro

I just read the opening and welcome email to Chapel Choir and am feeling excited but blue that another year at Olaf has started. I wish I could be there to enjoy the awesome feeling of rejuvenation up there on the hill, but I'm in Paris and that is incredible as well. Myself and some other girls went to the Louvre today and saw the Monna Lisa and the Venus de Milo. I absolutely love sculpture, but I really don't care to much for the dark, religious paintings so common in museums everywhere.

The metro system here is so easy to use and fun. It's like a puzzle that you have to figure out. They have a very efficient system, and I already know that it is going to be weird when I have to drive everywhere again. I like the city. There are definitely down points, like the pee-smell at one of the metro stops and dog poop and it's hideous smell outside of a cute little church, but there is so much life and fashion, not to mention great-looking (not just good) men. I've also encountered a lot of Russian speakers as well, which is a very pleasant surprise. Every once in a while I hear a word or phrase I know and it brings me back.
