I forgot this even happened in France.

Hi Friends and Neighbors.

My tour in France went by so quickly and I was working so much the whole time that I forgot whole things that happened.

Like this:

Oh right. That arch thing.

II did see L’arc de Triomphe. I had about 5 minutes to walk this close to it, take a few pictures and then get a coffee and some lunch before my work call.

So, I saw that.

I also saw this, because our hotel was close to it (and so my running route was, too)

So, what? Pipes? Huh?

This is a contemporary art museum in Paris, called Centre Pompidou.  Apparently, it was designed with all the pipes, elevators, fans and stuff that usually takes up space inside a building, on the outside, so as to make more room for the art on the inside. Also, as seems to be the case with most new things in Paris, a lot of people hated the idea of this building because it was so different from everything around it.

Just like this:

Spooky, no? There's something to be said for a full moon.

RIIIIIGHHT, I also saw the Louvre. From the outside. At night. Apparently, a lot of Parisians hated this pyramid, too.

Me, I liked it. I mean, I’d like to see the inside of an extremely large and famous museum every now and then, but if I can only get the outside, I’ll settle for the outside.

For now.
