Today we were tourists through and through...
Our day began with a ride atop a large, red, roof-less bus which took us in a circuit around Paris. The weather was perfect...blue skys and the sun was shining. We both felt perfectly content as we gaped at the beauty and splendor around us, the cities monuments seem to pay a constant homage to their beloved Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, however we were not complaining as each one was more resplendent and breathtaking than the last.
Next stop was the Louvre where we walked among the works of Monet, Rembrandt, Botticelli and most famously Da Vinci. We saw the Mona Lisa of course, but only from afar as she was heavily guarded...bullet proof glass and not one but three barriers...however it was worth the search it took to find her in the great expanse that is the Louvre, she is indeed a beauty.
I think that the feeling is unanimous between both Melissa and I that yesterday was our best day yet, we were in awe the entire time...
