The Louvre - Paris

We feel really luck to have been able to go to the Vatican see the museum there, the Sistine Chapel and everything else there and and now to follow that up by seeing the Louvre in Paris is amazing.  I know I must sound like a broken record but go for the tour on this one as well.  If you are like me you probably do not really know what you are looking at, and if you know what you want to see finding it is another story.  Our guide was great, she kept us moving along and got us to all of the highlights.  Some of the highlights pictured below that we saw included, the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory, and Venus de Milo.
There she is, it's good to be tall  if you want to get a look at her.


The Mona Lisa is there somewhere.
















The Winged Victory
Venus de Milo - Even she has to look out for pickpokets!


 The treasures in the Louvre aren't the only things to look at, the building itself is amazing.
