Museum Visit
While I was in Paris this past summer, I visited The Louvre, which was absolutely amazing. The Louvre was so big I didn't have the chance to see everything but I visited the Denon wing, and the Sully wing. I saw Italian and German sculptures such as Antonio Canova, Phyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, 1793, marble, and the Michelangelo Bounarroti, Dying Slave, 1515, marble. I also saw the Greek and Roman marble sculptures. I got to see the Mona Lisa up close which was interesting. Some of my favorite parts where the tiny metal rings and bracelet because they were so intricate. There many bowls and and small sculptures that were gorgeous and very well crafted. Even the building itself was spectacular, I especially loved the glass pyramid that was on top.

Summer 09
This past summer, before my senior year, I spent most of my summer traveling. I spent two weeks at Lake Tahoe, and two weeks in Europe. I went to Paris, Monaco, and Spain. I am very interested in Architecture, so I went to Versailles, visited many churches such as the Santa Maria del Mar, the Notre Dame, and La Segrada de la Familia done by Gaudy, and the architecture specifically in Paris is breathtaking.
