Day 4 - Election Day & Musee d'Orsay


Day 4 was the day! Election day back in the States. Sheep was so nervous! He started the day in Paris by watching election results on CNN, but got so anxious he decided to get out and distract himself. He also thought he should follow-up on Mules' suggestion that he speak with Horses, as they carried much more authority and had far greater prominence in Paris.
So sheep headed over to the Musee d'Orsay. After a quick run through the galleries of Renoir, Cezzane, Monet, Degas and Rodin, Sheep headed into the forecourt for a meeting with Pierre Rouillard's Cheval à la herse (Plough Horse). Foundried by Antoine Durenne, it was commissioned in 1877 for l'Exposition universlle de 1878, and belonged to the gardens of the first palais du Trocadèro (Trocadèro palace).
He and Plough Horse, after several hours of discussion, decided to sign an agreement, throwing the support of horses behind the campaign against Palin. Although the need would be mute if Obama won, Sheep wanted to continue working to being prepared.

Before heading back to the right bank, Sheep and Horse posed for a picture. See Sheep way down there...underneath horse?
