a walk in the rain

blehhh...rain and cold all at once? ugh. i can't believe i had to take out my leather gloves (my first non-edible purchase in Paris two months ago) again. so much for being officially spring. pshh...

an update of the architecture walk. the rain took over, making it an awfully unpleasant walk. i had to run home and change before going to my next class.

Institut de France (used to be College des Quatres-Nations) built in the honor of Mazarin

the bridge in front of Institut de France, leading right to Louvre

Pavillon de l'Horloge of Louvre aka Sully wing (architect: Jacque Lemercier)

louvred it again

eileen and i went to that huge museum in the center of paris on wednesday night.

no love from Louvre

ugh...back to winter weather. il fait TRES FROID.
i needed to go to Louvre to draw for my art class but totally forgot its closed on tuesdays, not mondays as i've always thought. lesson learned. so what to do? bored but determined to stay out, Remy and i decided to take a walk, where else? the Tuileries garden. there's just something magical about that place- i guess its the serenity. i can't wait till the sun comes out so we can hang out by the fountains/pools of water.

speaking of those pools, we saw some actions going on there this afternoon.
