The Louvre





After the Pompidou, we reached our final destination which was The Louvre! The museum that houses the Mona Lisa-& yes I saw it, however sadly did not get my own picture. They guard that thing like crazy! The museum itself is huge & it would have taken several days to get through the whole thing, but the parts we did see, and seeing the Mona Lisa was way cool. It's crazy that so many people go there to see that one painting-there was quite the crowd around it. The pyramids it the courtyard were designed by IM Pei. It is so neat to see in real life. The pyramids add a nice contrast to the classical architecture of the rest of the museum.
