Paris - Day 3

On our second full day in Paris Marg and I decided we should go and see the Famous Muse' Lourve ,home of the Mona Lisa (among many, many others).


We spent a few hours wandering the halls and taking in the sites and then decided to brave the unwashed masses and see the Mona Lisa. It was a special moment when we finally pushed past the Italian and Englsh tourists to see the old girl. Behind the 3 inches of bulletproof glass the painting was still beautiful.


When awe of the masterpiece had ended we took a long walk all the way over to the Notre Dame. It had started raining by then but the walk was still beautiful, past cafes and markets. The rain was getting heavier so we decided to wait it out at the hotel.


After the rain stopped we walked back to the Eiffel Tower to see the light show at dusk. it was amazing to say the least. Parked right outside was a bus that made us both stop and laugh, I think you'll be able to work out why.
