My Mom and Aunt Sue are currently staying with us in Paris for a week to visit. This is the first trip for my Mom since she visited 2 years ago, and the first ever trip for Sue to Paris, so it's exciting to have them here for a week exploring this fine city in the autumn. Although the weather has definitely turned colder in the last week, we have been pretty lucky with the weather so far. It's cold but sunny most days, which is a vast improvement to the perpetual state of Paris in the wintertime of cold, gray and rainy. We spent this past weekend on a hop-on-hop-off bus and boat tour of the city, which I would highly recommend for first-time visitors as it's a great way to get to know the landscape. Our one and only stop on Monday was to the one and only Louvre, where we walked the vast halls in search of masterpieces. Thanks to the new audio guides - which are great but honestly a bit glitchy until they get rolling - we visited the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Coronation of Napoleon I, Michelangelo's Slaves, and many more.
