The dancers improvise to my laptop music. I've always wanted to play electronic dance music and now I finally have.

Little sailboats and ducklings in the Jardin de Tulleries
11 June 2006
Ducklings are cute, but kids kept trying to bash them with the bamboo sticks they use to propel the sailboats. Also, the sailboats themselves posed something of a hazard. I can't imagine Paris would be a nice place to raise ducklings.

The Louvre lurks behind this triumphant arch
11 June 2006
The triumphant arch celebrates one of Napoleon's victories in Germany. Ironically, the thing on the top makes it look like Brandenburg Gate.

The Louvre is MASSIVE!!
11 June 2006
The Jardin de Tulleries has many statues by Maillot, including these two.
This guy was really smart. He made a bunch of statues of naked women and then later, folks introduced him to a woman who looked a lot like the statues. She became his model and he painted many many many naked pictures of her (there are rooms and rooms in the Musée de Maillot).
It's like Pygmalion.
Anyway, all his statues have this greenish tinge and they're all fairly sexy. I like his work.

Although this picture is at an odd angle (I think Cola is reading something as we ride the train to Nice), it does show off her new haircut.

Nice is a lovely town.

Nicole takes some pictures of the lovely Nice scenery. Hopefully she didn't get as many solar thignees in her pictures as I did in mine.

Old Nice

Nicole takes a picture of the Virgin Mary in Nice. There was decidedly Italian influences everywhere, including many, many shrines to Our Lady.

She's a nice lady

I was struck, walking towards the Chateau, by how all the plants that I could see were ones that are also commonly found in California.
