I can’t believe it’s already August and I still haven’t completed the report on my vacation back in June! When I got back I was thrilled to have so many things to blog about, but then my well known laziness set in. Thankfully M. and I kept a little diary during our trip because I’ve forgotten half of it already!

June 25
This was to be our last day in Paris. Perhaps you remember that the day before we were told that the Louvre was closed. Today we returned and found it open for the public again. What really surprized me was compared to the crowds outside of the museum, inside it was quite empty. Sure the main attractions, like the Mona Lisa were very popular, but the lesser known pieces could be studied in peace, and there was almost always a seat available for us, which was great because we both were very tired. The place is huge and I decided that I really needed to return there to spend a couple of days on the museum alone. There are so many things I haven’t seen yet, like the Venus de Milo.
