Thoughts

I'm really trying to take advantage of everything here...like the musees!

Friday night, I went with Maria Elena to the Louvre and we did drawing of the Victoire de la Samothrace.

When we had just about finished, a cute boy with red headphones came up to us and asked if he could see our drawings and we gladly did so. Enterprising Maria swiftly asked him to take a photo of us with her fancy camera, one pretending to draw, the other displaying our creations.

It only occurred to me later that he was probably trying to flirt with us <3

As we had arrived late, we had scarcely any time after the first drawing to look around. Maria brought up the point that the French had stolen so many works from Italy- including peintures, sculptures and statues.

I begged her to teach me more Italian and she did so graciously: some words were much more rude than others !

Che fottuta puttana, troia, zoccola e baldracca! La BRUTTA!! Si, si Vittoria ha ragione!

I really hope to return to Italy next year, hopefully in January and see my lovely copines italiennes.

We had a quick look around but soon had to leave.

Had another look at the Chrissy Markets and then had a cup of Vanilla tea at Maria's.

Bliss!
