The Louvre.. a Huge Museum
Took a bus to the Louvre. With the Paris Pass, we didn't have to stand in a long line to get in. They put our bags through an x-ray and we had to walk through machines just like in the airport. I wasn't surprised considering all the valuable artwork in the museum. It's immense with many different section and lots of stairs. Made sure we saw the classics: Code of Hammurabi (Always taught about this and finally was able to see the real thing!), the Winged Victory of Samothrace, Venus de Milo, Mona Lisa (Notice the reflection of the crowd of people taking photos), and many other statues and paintings. Two courtyard areas under large glass roofs contain many French statues. It was a bright, sunny day so we walked around after a few hours in the museum, enjoying the weather (not as cold as yesterday) and the ambiance.
