Paris - Day 2

These are not in the right order, because I'm too darn lazy to edit my post. How sad is that?

These were at the Concierge. As was usual in Paris, the building was beautiful. I loved the great big open hall, which is where several very large fireplaces (like the one Hannah & I are standing in) were located.




Notre Dame was our favorite stop of the day. The church was beautiful inside and out. It was actually raining and I was trying really hard to get a picture of the water pouring out of the gargoyles mouth in the picture below. I gave up, though, because I didn't want my camera getting too wet!

The inside was gorgeous, but very dark:

The cool iron work on the exterior doors:

This particular carving amused me. I like the depiction of the devil pushing down on the scale. The people on the side of the devil are jumping into a cauldron (which you cannot see in the picture), while the people on the other side are gazing to heaven. The building was covered in interesting and often amusing (well, amusing to me, anyway) carvings.


The bald guy in front of me thought this was a cool shot, too. It was taken at the Louvre.

Jeremy in front of the cool pyramids at the Louvre.

The ceiling of a window alcove at the Louvre that I thought was pretty. I liked the architecture more than the art, honestly!

And, last but not least, Jeremy & Hannah giving a big thumbs up in front of the big thumb at La Defense. I have absolutely no clue what the meaning is behind the thumb. I suppose I could google it, but I don't care enough to take the time at this point.
