So the next morning we woke up, and had breakfast, and met James, and went to the Lourve. It was free admission because it was the first Sunday of the month, so that was nice, but I would have liked to have gotten a ticket to keep. As it is I only have a map of the Lourve, but that will work fine. The Lourve was pretty cool. Got to see the Mona Lisa, and a painting called Victory Leading the People, which I recognized as the one they use with the Broadway Musical Les Miserables. I was pretty excited.
We got to see most everything that we wanted to, including Napoleon's Apartments, which were pretty cool. We even went to see the Medieval foundations (castle style) of the Lourve, that were only discovered a few years ago when they started digging for the pyramid. Pretty awesome stuff. They even found a crown in a well down there, and broken pots and such. After the Lourve we headed to the Champs Elysees so I could look at the shops, and so we could get to the Triumphal Arch.
After that, we jumped on the metro, had to say goodbye to James, and we got our stuff from the hostel and jumped on a train to Brussels, Belgium. Once there we walked around a bit to find our hostel, which was definitely nicer than the one in France.
