Paris Day 3: Museums

Having been promised rainy weather, we decided to spend our last day in Paris exploring a couple of museums. Amra and I beat the crowd early Sunday morning and were among the first to enter the Louvre. Equipped with a map of the museum, we wondered the numerous halls of the Louvre appreciating its many treasures. Next we toured the Musée D'Orsay, which houses the works of some of our favorite artists from the Impressionist movement. Regrettably, we weren't allowed to take pictures inside. Before catching our train to Vichy, we grabbed some delicious gelato with our friend Ethan, who is currently studying in Paris. We bid our farewells in front of the fountain on Place St. Michel. Au revoir, Paris! A la prochaine fois!

Zadnji dan u Parizu smo provele u umjetničkim muzejima.

Glad you girls are having a blast. You both look beyond adorable!

What an experience to see world's most famous works of art in person! I am so living vicariously through you two. (By the way, Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo have nothing on you two in terms of beauty).
You girls are smart beyond your years. I'm indescribably proud of you, little sisters. Keep on enjoying yourselves. Love you beyond infinity. :)
