The Louvre is awesome! It is a huge palace that was turned into an art museum which now has the world's largest collection of art. I thought the Louvre was really cool. I saw around 1000 pictures and that's a small part of the museum! We went on a "Food and Drink Treasure Hunt" with some friends. The #1 most famous thing we saw was the Mona Lisa! We saw an ancient Egyptian tomb, the Sphinx, and a lot of other really, really cool stuff. Some paintings were about as long as a double decker bus! My favorite painting on our treasure hunt was "Les Noces de Cana" by Paolo Caliari, painted in 1562. There were lots of cute dogs hiding in this painting!

Wow! It sure sounds like you are having a fabulous time and we wish we could join you on a trip to the Louvre and to a bakery for one of those wonderful chocolate croissants! Enjoy every minute and we are ready to Skype!
Wow...
Sure sounds like you guys are having some fun over there.
You are certainly going to get your fill of museums and pastry!
Gina wants to know if you've tried a "croque monsieur" yet... That was her favorite when she was there.
Have fun!
Jay & Gina.
Bonjour!
J'adore la Louvre! Using Skype was very fun! It seemed like you guys were just down the street talking to us on it! I read some of the other posts here, and I read the one about croque monsieurs. They are very good! We tried them in french class! Along with your crepes et nutella! Hopefully we can talk to you soon!

The food and drink hunt sounds awesome! I would love to get there sometime.
Hi! Seems like you guys are having an AWESOME time! I can't believe you saw the Mona Lisa, a mummy's tomb and a sphinx! You saw paintings as long as a double decker bus!!! That's HUGE!! What a fun treasure hunt.
I read about the mile jog around the Eiffel Tower. That's cool how it snowed! I have always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower in real life. Is it bigger than you thought? I can't wait till you get back!
