Contrary to the odd cloudy weather reports, Day 2 was beautifully sunny and warm. Chilly in the morning and at night but rather hot during the day. First of May is a big public holiday in France and Europe and every single shop was closed for business (except some souvenir shops- which, obviously, thrived). Tourists and locals (including yours truly) roamed the streets and mostly hung out at cafes al-fresco. Very Parisian.
After breakkie, we headed to the Louvre, thinking it would be open. It wasnt, so we had a thrill time just hanging around being trigger happy with our cameras.
Been trying to get a good shot of the Parisian culture for ages! Finally, a monkey face one surfaced. Mostly people bask in the outdoor sun having EUR$5 coffees and Coke.
The Louvre` - snapshot taken with the 10-22mm wide angle. U see everything! almost.
Yours truly indecently blocking the view of the entrance to the Musee de Louvre (Louvre Museum)
Window theraphy for those unable to access into the Louvre today. Quite magnificent.
We met a couple with their 2 kids outside the Louvre from Germany. The lady was a Singaporean married to a German – needless to say their baby girl and son were adorable. We made friends, had lunch and wow – u can make friends anywhere, can’t you?
