The Louvre was built in the 13th century as a
fortress and then later was rebuilt in the 16th century as a royal
residence. In 1793 it was
transformed into the first national museum. We spent our last afternoon in Paris perusing a few of the 35,000
exhibits.

We saw Venus de Milo in the Greek exhibit. The Mona Lisa in
room 6 in the Denon Wing and much more.
The crowds by the Mona Lisa were crazy and I was expecting is to be
about the size of an 8.5’’ by 11’’ paper because everyone says it’s so small. But I was surprised that is was bigger
than that.

We went to see some art from Ancient Egypt and then called
it a day! We founds a nice café
near the Louvre called the Comedy Café and that is were we had our last meal in
Paris before catching the bus for the airport. I had croque-monsieur and Kayla had a salad. We had fresh squeezed orange juice and
crème brulee. It was a GREAT
trip!!!
