The Louvre

On Sunday we went to The Louvre. (Mom, am I spelling that right?) We waited in line to get in for over an hour.   Lots of violent artwork. Not a huge fan.  I DID like this guy's hair.  A famous painting.  Natasha and I  Lovely marble staircases Glad we went because it was kind of neat to see some of the paintings Mom forced us (ha) to learn about. But it was nice to get outside in the fresh air again.
