Both of the above photos we taken outside a closed Maison fondee as we set out on our day trip to the Louvre, thus marking the beginning of day two.

Not only did we see a curious kitty perched at the window, but a gentleman, presumably the owner of the establishment, relaxing with a newspaper in the background. Because the natural light was not perfect, for once, I feel that photography wasn't the best medium to capture the scene. Sadly both Brad and I had left our oils, brushes, easels, berets and Bob Ross T-shirts at home.
