Lots of Art day

Foolishly, we planned all the major art museums for one day. It seemed like a smart plan when it was only supposed to rain one day, so we thought it would be good to have a bunch of long, inside things for that day.
As it turns out, it rained early in the morning, and again for about 2 minutes in the evening. I never thought I would ever be that indifferent about that many famous works of art. After seeing all the paintings and statues in the Louvre, and the Orsay, it was just too many. They all look basically the same. I don't understand why the Mona Lisa, or the Venus De Milo are so famous? they look so much like the other paintings and statues??? oh well, I guess that is why I am going to be an engineering, and not an artist, or art critic. The Egyptian stuff in the Louvre was my (and Cara's) favorite (or favourite, I better get used to how the British will spell it.) I liked the huge sphinx the best. Maybe someday I will have a giant sphinx by my house.
The Orsay was another cool museum (probably would have been a lot cooler if I hadn't gone to it directly after the Louvre.) There was a room full of Van Gogh paintings that were really neat. Also, a room full of Monets (you would have really liked that one Lynnea.) They also had more Rodin statues (of course with ridiculously large feet, legs, and hands.) One other really cool thing about the Orsay was a model of Paris they had built in the basement but had clear floors above it. That was neat to walk above it and look down on the little model of the city.
The Orangerie (where Monet's huge water lily paintings are) was next. The huge water lilies of Monet took, i think, 14 years to finish. WOW. they were pretty cool, and HUGE. There were two large oval-shaped rooms that held them, and it was neat as the painting went from sunrise to sunset of the lilies. There was also the personal painting collection of some guy, including some Picasso's. This was a little disappointing, as I found out that the Picasso paintings he had were from Picasso's time painting realism, not his weird other paintings.
As we were walking towards our Metro station, it was 6 o'clock, and we were walking towards the Eiffel tower. That was really cool as it was lit up, and started the glittering bright lights! so cool!

Well, thats all for day (well, yesterday, I am a day behind.) Hopefully I will get caught up tomorrow),
love you all!
