Cousin Oliver

We got up super early today and were out the door at 8 am, Paris Time (that’s 2 am for you guys — the middle of the night!). Today we were excited to see the Musee du Louvre, which one of the biggest museums in the world. It used to be a King’s palace before they turned it into a museum. It is HUGE. Even though the building is very GIANT, the French added some new elements to it: you can see a giant glass pyramid behind me and Rachel in this picture. You go into the pyramid to get into the museum.

Rachel and Josh were amazed by the museum. It is really big, and full of lots and lots of paintings, sculptures, old furniture and artifacts from ancient cultures. While we were there, I said hello to some new friends:

…and scared some new ones.

The museum is so big that we had to take a break in the afternoon for some coffee and the best ham and cheese (jambon et fromage) sandwiches we’ve ever had. Then we walked all the way back to our apartment… and stopped for ice cream on the way there! It was such a fun day.
