Yet again we're falling behind in our daily blogging adventures. But today was an exciting adventure. At least for me and Clarissa, the two artists of the group. (I'm blogging about my adventures with Clarissa, essentially Nick and Sarah went to the top of the Eiffel tower.) We went to any artist's or historian's dream, the Musee du Louvre. (Also known as where the Mona Lisa is.) The museum itself should be a piece of art.
Throughout the museum Clarissa and I oo-ed and aww-ed at the spectacular paintings displayed. We would simply walk up to paintings and groan in unison together because of how great the art piece was. Or one would spot statues from afar, unable to formulate full sentences, and simply said words like "the fabric" or "the lace detail" with the other nodding in agreement. However, both of us flipped out over this one particular painting. It's called The Immaculate Conception by Anton Raphael.
That was essentially our day. I got to see amazing art by even more amazing artists, that can never be a bad day in my book.
