On our third day in Paris we had tickets to go to the Picasso Museum in the morning. When we came out of the Metro stop, there was a large canvas on the sidewalk with someone drawing on it. As we approached, the people making the mural told Zoe to go and make her mark. She was not shy and dove right in.
After she was done with her art, we made our way in to the museum. There were a lot of great pieces to see, but it wasn't really Zoe's cup of tea. Although there were a few pieces that she did enjoy, a little nook in which she did her zen crab, and, of course, the gift shop.
When we were done with our visit at the museum, there were two photobooths in the area that we were able to visit. One was in a Bon Ton and the other was in a gallery of sorts. The one in the gallery was opened around the stool, which is something we'd never seen before.
After the photoboothing we took the Metro towards the Botanical Gardens. We had to cross the river from our stop, so we took a moment on the bridge to enjoy the day.
As we made our way in to the Botanical Gardens, we came across a series of hippopotamus statues of varying sizes. Of course, as you well know, when you come across statues of hippopotamuses of varying sizes, you have to stop and take a bunch of pictures. So we did.
Once we were done with the statues, there were all sorts of animals to see. We went in to several reptile houses to see snakes and frogs. There was also a number of other animals, like red pandas and flamingos; however, the most impressive display was from these birds.
These birds were such a hit because there were about half a dozen females in the enclosure and only one male. Well, this guy really wanted to strut his stuff to get the ladies' attention, and that he did. Of course, that lady was Zoe and she used a set of leaves to try and woo him right back. I'm not sure, but I think this is love.
It was such a good dance, even Cheryl got in on the act!
Shortly after she donned her leaves, about 5 French policemen showed up. Needless to say, she was thrilled with the results. Being a Botanical Garden, there were a number of plants to see, as well as the animals. On the way out, we stopped to take a few more pictures.
The flowers were beautiful, but I know that I was lucky enough to go home with the two most gorgeous ladies around.
All that was left to do was to stop and get some dinner. We chose a local restaurant that was near our apartment. The meal was delicious, but even more amazing was that Zoe ate a new food. She tried, and seemed to enjoy, actual potatoes. Now I'm not talking about fries, but real, skin-on, potatoes. Just watch this sequence of her eating one!
Now I know that she had to dip them in ketchup, but at least she ate them. And that concludes day three in Paris. Again, you can check out Flickr for the whole day's worth of pictures if this wasn't enough for you.
