The Louvre And D'Orsey






There is not too much to say about the Louvre. It is what you suspect. Very beautiful architecture encasing priceless pieces of art. Early one day The Brazilians and I spent a few hours at the D'Orsey which is an extension of the Louvre and contains many great works of art by Rodin, Klimt, Manet, VanGogh, Ganguin, Rosseau, and many others. Unfortunately we got to the Louvre very late, with 30 minutes before close, so Vincent and I only had enough time to run to the Mona Lisa. I have to disagree with what most people say, it is not that small. I would estimate its 18x24. It was kind of hard to get a good look at her, but it seemed like she was looking at me. I think she has a thing for me.
