The Coronation of Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David
There were a ton of people there, so we decided to not stay too long. Plus, students get in free, so we could definitely go back on our own and in both of our art history classes, we're making visits to the Louvre - so needless to say, we'll be back. No need to stuff it all in at one time. One thing that I like about the Louvre, probably just as much if not more than the paintings and works of art, is the architecture of the building itself, especially the ever-famous glass pyramid. It's gorgeous. I can't even begin to imagine how long it took to build. 
Once we left, we were searching for an American to take our picture outside. We ended up finding some Irish folks to do it instead. They were so nice. They asked us where we were from. I said North Carolina and Aubrey said Kentucky and they said, oooohh we have a niece in Philadelphia - as if they thought they were close to us. Oh well, they were from Belfast and I couldn't tell you where in Ireland that is either.
After that, Aubrey and I went to some bookstores to get some books for our classes. Then we walked around the Marais. We ate fallafel for lunch, which I had actually never had before. It was actually delicious and I want to get it again! Then we shopped at some vintage stores, but didn't really find anything. I'm searching for a winter coat since I didn't bring a big one, mainly because it wouldn't fit in my suitcase! I'm sure I'll find one before it gets too cold. I stayed in last night because I'm fighting off a cold. I would love for it to go away, hence why I'm taking a ton of vitamin C. On a side note, I'll be meeting Stephen at the airport in Paris in TWO WEEKS! Oh my goodness.
