France 2005 - Day 4 - Paris

• To the Louvre! - Shannon in heaven - Dave getting greener by the minute - regretting Tandoori chicken of evening before
• Shan looks around the ancient foundations - Dave curls fetally in an alcove
• Shan gazes at medieval tapestries + Dutch oils - Dave enforces non-smoking policy for French teens in Louvre restroom
• Dave rests moaning in the sunny forecourt of the Louvre - Shan digs up high school French to explain to local pharmacist that her mari is malade and wants to vomit
• Armed with drugs of questionable effectiveness, Dave heads back to apartment - makes deposits in two Métro trashcans on the way - falls into miserable non-slumber @ "home"
• Shan joins Björn + Jenny in search for the Catacombs - after much navigating of twisty streets, discover the Catacombs are closed (they were closed when we were here in 2000, too, but because of flooding that time) - foiled!
• Shan walks most of the way back to the apartment - beautiful day
• More halting French pharmacy talk to obtain actual working drugs
• Picnic dinner @ apartment
