Notice the clothes they are wearing. Looks like they are playing it for the camera. The guy on the right has a camera at his waist. This was taken on the street where I was reared.
Palais du Luxembourg
I left our hotel in the Latin Quarter this morning and after dropping Peter off at his business meeting (or rather, accompanying him on his walk), I walked through the Jardins du Luxembourg on my way to the Musée d'Orsay. Because it was early in the morning, the gardens were quiet, and while I wasn't "alone", I was probably about as close as you can come to "alone" in these gardens during their open hours. They are incredibly beautiful and especially so on a pleasant blue-skied day in early September! I wandered too long and consequently, when I arrived at the Musée d'Orsay (after opening), waited in line for quite some time to get my tickets. Lesson learned - avoid the scenic route when on a mission!
As an aside, the Musée d'Orsay was amazing!
“Built in 1625 by Salomon de Brosse for Queen Marie of Médicis, the Palais du Luxembourg was a residence for the Royal Family before it was turned into a prison during the French Revolution.
In 1800, Napoléon Bonaparte employed Chalgrin to transform the palace and the first senators took office in 1804. Initially, there were 80 senators collectively called the “Sénat Conservateur” and their purpose was to approve the Emperor’s decisions. After the fall of Napoléon in 1814, the Senate was replaced by the “Chambre des Pairs”. A few years later, space for the 271 people involved in the “Chambre des Pairs” was becoming an issue. Therefore in 1836, King Louis Phillippe employed architect Alphonse de Gisors to enlarge the palace to its current structure.
During the Second World War, the palace was occupied, before being liberated in 1944. In 1958, Charles de Gaulle created the 5th Republic and the Senate that we know today. 321 senators gather in the Palais du Luxembourg in “commissions” to analyse written laws, with 6 permanent “commissions” who collect information from ministers, trade unions and a large number of both French and foreign experts.
The President of the Senate is the second most important figure in the country after the President of the Republic. The library contains some 450,000 books.”

I found these adorable Littlest Pet Shop fakies at Walgreens yesterday. Sometimes Walgreens has a great fakie selection, but I digress! These are a little larger than a normal LPS figure, and I find them irresistibly cute. And I love the fact that none of them are cats. ^_^;;
I'll take photos of them out of the package later. I love them!
C'est une baraque de chantier un peu luxueuse au milieu de la place. Son revêtement réfléchissant montre le bâtiment qui est devant elle et derrière celui qui prend la photo
Pals is a medieval town in Catalonia, northern Spain a few kilometres from the sea in the heart of the Bay of Emporda on the Costa Brava.
Pals has a historic centre on a hill surrounded by plains with a medieval Romanesque tower built between the 11th and 13th centuries, known as the Torre de les Hores (Tower of the Hours).
The Gothic Quarter of the town has been substantially restored and there are cobbled streets interrupted by semicircular arches, façades with pointed arched windows and stone balconies. The town wall contains four square towers which date from the 4th century. The Josep Pla viewpoint (from which can be seen the fields of Empordà and the Medes Islands), the Plaça Major, the tombs in the Carrer Major and the church of Sant Pere are other features of the town. There is an Archaeology Museum.
Some historians such as catalan Jordi Bilbeny among others, argue that Christopher Columbus on his first trip, he left Palos de la Frontera, says the official story, but the old port of posts today disappeared. In 1492 the Pals had a major seaport that could even fit an issue as important as the discovery of the New World.
According Bilbeny, the town of Pals became, thanks to the censors of the crown, the Palos de Huelva. The town of Pals de l'Emporda is well documented since ancient times as a royal town and major port. Similarly, this researcher, relates the Pinzon brothers with Pinçon the village of Pals, according to a letter of Directors of Barcelona were corsairs attacked and Barcelona in 1479.

Late 1800's school house our friends bought and banged into shape. Looks normal but walls are 2' thick stone and mortar. The interior was sort of a wreck cosmetically when they got it, but the structure is so solidly built that cleaning sanding and painting made it eminently livable. Now they can relax a bit and work on it as they go.
