The Louvre








The Louvre was next on our list with a rushed visit to catch the highlights. We went through the royal apartments first. I was not aware that the Louvre was a home to the royals of France before it became a museum. We then hit as many highlights as we could including of course a glimpse of the Mona Lisa, Venise de Milo, Maddona on the Rocks, the Winged Victory etc. One really could spend days there. Perhaps some day we will have more time. We found the place where the pyramyd points downward; that was fun. Also of note was the elevator at the main entrance. It was a cylindar that you walked into and then it rose up free standing to the top.
