After relaxing for a bit, we then headed out for food and a drink near the Louvre. Tonight the Louvre was open until 930, so the crowds weren't as crazy when we arrived. I was able to get unobstructed shots of the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and others.
It was relaxing just to roam the hallways without fighting off tour groups and field trips. We left just as the sun was going down. We decided to start walking over to Notre Dame to see it at night. The sun takes quite a while to set here (doesn't get dark until after 10), so we decided to sit in the heinous looking bleachers to kill time.
We watched a group of street performers lazily twirl batons and a girl with a hula hoop. Nicole and I probably sounded like the two guys from the Muppets heckling them from the top of the bleachers. I said the show would be a lot better if the hula hoop was on fire. Oddly enough, this eventually happened!
When the sun finally set, I took some pictures like the HDR one here. A little artistic license was taken, but I like the effect. We saw the Eiffel Tower on our way back, so I snapped a couple more of it and we went back to the hotel to prepare for our next leg: Belgium!
