Le Louvre

Le Louvre

Today, our final day in Paris, was spent at Le Louvre. Simply put, it's amazing. I can't even begin to describe the size of the museum. Beth and I spent seven hours there and saw about half the museum, and very little of that time was spent looking at things in detail. You could literally spend a week there and still not see everything. We saw, of course, da Vinci's Monna Lisa and Madonna on the Rocks. We also saw Venus de Milo, one of the most famous sculptures in the world. I can't even name all the recognizable pieces of artwork we saw. It's just incredible. The facility itself is worth seeing, let alone all the fascinating pieces of work inside. Our dogs were barking, but we headed off to see Notre Dame again. When we first went, the line to get in was incredibly long. Tonight, we waited about five minutes and made it inside. The architecture is amazing, and to think it was achieved over 800 years ago. The first stone was laid in 1163 and the church was completed in 1330. Yesterday we went to the Eiffel Tower and walked the Champs Elysees. That was a lot of fun as well. Beth and I are sad to be leaving tomorrow, but happy to get back home as well. Our feet are killing us after having been on them for so days at a time. We're headed back to the states tomorrow, and will be in Vegas tomorrow night if all goes well.
