Friday the 13th in the full moonlight....

after the 4 hour expedition we dropped everything on the floor of our apartment and went to a party at the louvre - which ended up being not too much a party, but an free evening with live art events (feather-clad girls, and a nude guy posing like a statue, would have been more effective with more. they were playing cool music though, and there was a choir walking around the louvre with bells and they sounded most excellent together.) spent a lot of time looking at the statues, sketched a few. time after was spent at a small cafe south of notre dame drinking my find of the night (possibly of the whole trip, they have to have this somewhere in the states or i will cry (or start a business)), vin chaud - hot spiced wine, served with an orange... tres tasty, warm, and perfect for the night and conversation.
