One of my favorite historical concepts is An Embarrasement of Riches. It is sometimes used to describe the Dutch during the 16th and 17th century when they were ridiculously rich and drove up the price of tulips. The Dutch have nothing on the Louvre though. Every chambre, hallway, courtyard or whatever is filled with magnificent art. Your eyes start swimming.
France is quite lovely and much more muliticultural than I expected. I didn't see much of Nice but I had a lovely time at my friend Nathan's wedding. Unfortunaely, while I was waiting for the train to Paris, I receivd horrible news--my father had a heart attack. He's okay but they had to put in a stent and do an angioplasty. I didn't sleep much last night.
Now I'm off to eat and wander around.
Au revoir!
