I don't know why the pictures I post sometimes just don't appear. I am obviously doing something wrong, but oh well...

So, the pictures below go with the post that is below them. The first one is of the sailboats at Luxumbourg Gardens (pretty self explanatory). The other 2 are of Foucaults Pendulum and the interior of the Pantheon.

The church is just outside the Pantheon, it is Eglise St Etienne Du Mont, and was built in 1492. 1492? That's when "Columbus sailed the ocean blue." Imagine...the French were building phenomenal churches, the Italians were sailing across unknown oceans, and North America was largely unsettled with nary a building. (Yeah, I know, Vikings had already been there and todays First Nations were there, but this is not a history lesson, at least not a really accurate one.)
