Today was an awesome day! I went to the Louvre and wandered around Paris along the river. For those of you that have not been to the Louvre, it is insanely big. A person literally could spend a week in this grand art museum. The pieces that attract the most attention are the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. I found the Mona Lisa to be less than impressive. It was quite smaller than I had expected and looked quite ordinary. However, I believe that everyone should have a chance to see her because she is one of the most famous works of art. The Venus de Milo, on the other hand, was quite astounding. She is gorgeous and graceful and has such poise. The rest of the museum was spectacular. It took me far longer to explore than I had originally anticipated but was nonetheless an enjoyable experience. Afterwards, I sat for lunch at a small cafe and had a ham and cheese omelet. The rest of day, I walked around and took another bus tour so I could see everything again. All in all, quite a nice day! Here are a few shots from today.
