Day 35 - Monday, May 28th - The Louvre & the Eiffel Tower by night

Another beautiful, sunny day in Paris.  I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, aren't I?  Well, what can I say, a month sure made a difference in the weather.  I'm happy, happy, happy!

Today is our day to tackle the Louvre.  We arrived by 10 a.m. and stayed for about 2 hours viewing some of the key "must-sees" such as the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, Napoleon's Apartments, all guided by a Rick Steves' podcast, courtesy of Martha.

But even with all the beauty and grandeur of the Louvre, the photo of the day goes to the shot Terry took of the Eiffel Tower during our evening stroll after dinner and a Seine River cruise.

Postscript:
Even though I awarded the photo of the day to the above Eiffel Tower photo, Terry thought I should at least show you a picture of the mass of humanity at the Louvre in the Mona Lisa room.  We were able to get close enough to get a better shot of her, but you've all seen pictures of her many times.  The old girl still draws a crowd.

That's the Mona Lisa in the middle of the far wall.  It's not as big as I thought it would be.
