Jen wanted to visit the Louvre, so we opted to go for the Wednesday late-night visit. We read that it tends to be less busy with tourists at night and fortunately for us, this turned out to be true! We saw some great collections from around the world, and of course the Mona Lisa (and whichever other exhibits we could remember from reading the Da Vinci Code :)).
We travelled the world to visit all of the various ruins and other amazing ancient sites and discoveries. When you go to these places, you notice a lot of missing statues/carvings/buddha heads, etc. Turns out they're all in a museum!
So.. by coming to the Louvre, we actually got to complete our journey by seeing a lot of the excavated items that have been removed from the ancient sites we visited over the past year! ;)
