Trip to Paris (continued)

So, continuing with the details of my trip to Paris.

I reached Paris rather late in the evening. After freshning up, relaxed in the hotel lobby. I had one day to see Paris, the most romantic city in the world, all alone. I started my day rather late and by the time I was in Louvre it was late afternoon.


Lovre, the home to Mona Lisa, is a beautifull blend of ancient and mordern art. The main enterance for the Louvre is through a magnificant glass pyramid which is surrounded by ancient buildings.


Although, I am not big into museums and the sorts, this one really impressed me. It had these huge paintings which covered an entire wall. Very colorful and, I would say, very well maintained. And yes, I did go and see _the_ Mona Lisa. I wanted to see what the fuss is all about. And after seeing it, I still wonder what the fuss is all about. Its rather small as compared to rest of the art work in there. But then I don't know much about art anyways.


It was evening by the time I got out of the Louvre. Figured out the next best thing to visit would be the Eiffel Tower. So I started my walk towards it. Here are some pictures that I took while walking to the tower.




There was just too many people out there. Here it is in its full glory (well almost).






Feeling content that I saw the two best things of Paris (at least that's what I think), I left for home the next morning. And it was different this time, very different. I was happy, a feeling that I had not felt in a long time.

To be continued....
