Seine River. The setting was perfect; I sat on the pavement taking in all the sights and wonders of Paris. All along the river were up and coming artists displaying their works‚ hackling with potential buyers. Stalls; selling T. shirts and miniature Eiffel towers.

After a stroll along the river‚ I caught a taxi to the famous art museum known as the Louvre. I
