Most of our weekends and "free" time is taken up by optional trips. Today's optional trip was biking along the Seine and since my ankle has been giving me problems, I decided not to join the groups and go biking, it was 18 miles round trip. Instead I went back to the Louvre. I got up nice and early so I could get there when it opened up at 9am, and there was already a line. It moved along fairly quickly and before I knew it I was inside buying my ticket. I was on a mission! I wanted to see so much and my ankle was already yelling at me; I mapped out my route and set off. My first stop to the Italian Painters, then on to Spanish painters and a quick sneak peek at 1300's altarpieces and finish with Northern European sculpture. There is still one wing that I have not seen, I am going to try to make it back next week, but we will see. After my whirl-wind adventure at the Louvre I hopped on 3 metros to the Quai Branly Museum, it is my group project location and I needed to visit it again. I got caught in the rain, but it was pleasant and I did not mind the quick walk under my umbrella.
I headed back in the direction of my residence and I dropped my broken shoe off at the cobbler, where he fixed my shoe for FREE! After seeing all the great flowers at Monet's garden I stopped off at the fleur shop and picked up 2 roses to decorate my plain room.
