Paris Day 2

Joey and I decided to ditch the tour group and explore Paris on our own. Joey had a LOVE of public transportation, so he was quick to figure out how the subway system in Paris worked. We hopped on right by our hotel and went to the Lourve. It was amazing. You need about a day or so to see even half of it. We went in and saw the main attractions right away. Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. They were amazing to see in person. Even the Lourve was amazing to see. You see so much about all of these things, so we had to pinch ourselves to think that we were actually there.
After getting the main attractions out of the way we wondered around for a bit. We rushed a bit because we really wanted to see the Museum d Orsay. That is where a lot of Monets and Renoir's pieces are. Van Gogh's Starry Night is there. We got there and much to our dismay it was closed!!!!!
We were bummed, because that is the museum we really wanted to go to. So we settled for lunch and relaxing at a small sidewalk cafe.
Then we went back to the hotel to get ready to meet up with our group for the New Year's festivities.
