dore family tour -the details

Some more photos from the Dores tour of Europe...

Alaina at the seafood shop in the market.



Big guy, big mushrooms.


Our heros, our amazing hosts, Nils and Alejandro!


Alaina checking out a strange style of jeans in Paris.



Nils and me, frolicking with art.



Nils taking a really cool photo, I'm sure.


Pete taking a photo of me taking a photo. Judy looks at the adjacent primitive art.


The silliness around the Mona Lisa.


Nils and one of his favorite paintins - a Rubens, i think.


Wings of Victory or something like that.


Leaving N&A's apt, about to meet Peter and Judy, or so we thought. They ended up getting lost and we didn't find them for an hour or so. THey had gone back to their hotel. Smart, smart people!


Nils and one of the what seemed like many dessert samplings we enjoyed at their apt.



Notre Dame, a dame and a Dave.


A lovely and surprising live orchestra in the Metro station.


Alaina getting a free massage on the bridge to Isle St. Louis (?)


Lunch crepes in Luxembourg gardens.


Mom and daughter checking out a Degas in Musee D'Orsay.


Mom and son checking out a Ferdinand Hodler painting in Musee d'Orsay.


Teeny-boppers at the Art Nouveau exhibit in Musee d'Orsay.


Alaina in heaven, in the Louis Vuitton store on CHamps Elyssees.



I thought this woman was both elegant and very cool for sitting on the steps near the Louvre, doing her work.


I like to think that this adorable couple was on a date. :)


A bit of a fashion photoshoot on the Seine, near Ponte Alexander.


Alaina with one of the many Vogue covers along CHamps Elyssees.

A really cool gentleman selling his foodstuffs in the Alsace.
