We're back

Well it's now time to get back to reality. Mel and I arrived back in Ottawa yesterday afternoon.

We spent the last 4 days of our trip in Paris where we spent most of our time checking out museums and some sights.

We got to visit the Louvre and even got to see the Mona Lisa....I guess the readers of the DaVinci Code sleep late. It is amazing at all the art and artifacts the louvre has. They come from all over the world and were likely accumulated a long time ago....likely during Napolean's conquests. The Louvre has a great Egyptian section.

We also got to see the Pompidou where they have a large modern art collection including paints or scultptures from Pollack, Dali, Picasso, Munch and many more.

On our last day we visited the Rodin museum and got to see most of all of his great works...including The Thinker, The kiss, Hells Gates, and much much more.

We also visited the Pere Lachasse cemetary where we visited the graves of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde and Delacroix.

We also visited the Eiffel Tour, The Arc of Triumph and the Champs D'Elysee. Most of which was by foot...I think we lost some weight on the trip despite all the food.

Mel and I took a night bus tour of Paris were we got some great photos of the more famous Paris landmarks...look for photos shortly

Paris was alive with people from all over the world coming for the rugby tournament. Heck on Wednesday Britain played South Africa in Paris and the place swelled up with British.

I will be posting...hopefully soon....some photos....the good ones of the over 1800 I took.

I will also post a link to my flickr account where all the photos will be posted.

Now it's back to reality, work and renovations.
