Louvre Museum

Here I am, happy as a clam at my first spotting of the Louvre!  This is the back side of the museum, but I had to take a picture anyway.  My plan was to spend the morning in the Louvre then catch a free 3 hour walking tour of the city that started at 1 PM.  But the Louvre was so captivating that I just couldn't leave!!  It's something I've dreamed of seeing since I was a teenager, so I stayed for a few extra hours.  I know that I didn't even scratch the surface of all the Louvre holds, but it was AMAZING!!!

Buddy, next time you go hunting, I think you should do it in the nude like this guy: 

I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures - anything I have to say about this art would be an injustice.

After spending 6 hours in the Louvre, I finally decided to leave and look around at the rest of Paris.  When you exit the Louvre, it spits you out into this weird underground shopping mall (that's also where the inverted pyramid can be found).  I looked everywhere for a restroom, and actually walked by this place several times before I realized that it was, indeed, the toilet.  Had to pay 1 Euro to pee there, but it sure was fancy!  This is the "welcome wall."
