Statues of the Louvre

We're feeling nostalgic this week, so it's a good time to share memories of that lovely city across the water - Paris! Specifically, its crown jewel the Louvre Museum.

Florence: at the feet of the Masters

We have been saving Florence because it was the most beautiful of the places we visited. We were completely overwhelmed by the craft and care that had gone into every part of this Renaissance city. We already know we will have to post another blog for more details on church interiors and gardens.

Even before we arrived in the city proper, a long avenue of well-kept shrubs and walls of vertically growing greenery advertised the Florentine's dedication to beautiful environments.
