I go to Paris...

Yesterday I visited the Louvre. I love wandering around the Louvre. I'm interested in so many things at the moment. But I really love finding the free expressive works in the medieval and Greek sections.
These enameled works are so beautiful.
Love this one, yep the fountains were working.
The same kind of bird headed goddess figures that I found in Crete.
Roman torso.
They have so many greek pots, it's tiring.

Rugby

Someone is very excited to be playing rugby. He has been a bit squashed, but he'll learn not to flop on the ground. Last Saturday we went to the big sports shop to buy some equipment for rugby.

Hubby goes to Berlin...

Here are Hubby's pictures from Berlin. In Berlin the architecture is amazing, especially the new buildings and also the collections in the museums. He went to the Pergamon Museum, where they have the famous Ishtar Gate. (one of the reasons I went there in 2000)
