Photo du Jour - Napoleon


Today we spent five hours wandering Les Invalides. It is one of my favorite museums in Paris. It is a reminder of how young New Zealand is - we were looking at pieces of weaponry and armor that were made 300 years before there were people in NZ. Crazy. And the pieces are all so beautifully crafted. Was a fantastic learning experience - and Rob loved it. Which is also fabulous.

The photo is a shot of the ceiling above Napoleon's tomb. The paintings are stunning and quite breathtaking.
