The Louvre

Delirious, Max and I visited one of the most famous museums in the world - the Louvre.  On only a few hours of sleep we forced ourselves to view art so as to not waste an entire day in Paris.  Jet lag is evil.  We did not succumb to our twin beds and instead walked gallery after gallery.  Generally, when someone says that you can not accomplish a task in a day they are wrong.  Yet, in this instance the advice was correct in that experiencing the entire Louvre is beyond humanity.  The art is non-stop, sculpture after sculpture, painting after painting.  Minds half-open, leg muscles twitching, and vision a bit blurred we viewed the art.  We spent an extra amount of time in front of the Mona Lisa, just to be sure we could remember it.  I will devote a post to that painting in the near future.
