THE LOUVRE. Ahhhh.
Mona Lisa and the nipple tweaking girls.
Both of these famous works of art have graced all mediums of media. I’m glad that I was finally was given the chance to see them up close.
First and foremost… the Mona Lisa was so small. 😐 When I entered the gallery and I saw people crowding at this area, I was like, “Oh the Mona Lisa would definitely be there.” I approached the area and was “Where the hell is it?” And poof, after pushing people aside and stomping on them, I saw it. It was small and it looked weird to me because my mind kept saying that Mona Lisa was definitely Da Vinci cross dressing. I liked the nipple tweak-ers better. Haha!
The Louvre had lots of visitors but I was told that the crowd didn’t even reach 60% of the peak season crowd. My favorite were the marble sculptures. I can’t remember the names anymore, but the sculptures were definitely favorites. Especially the naked ones. Haha. And excuse my lack of art knowledge but while browsing the paintings, Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson’s works really captured my attention. There was really something about them. I also liked that painting by somebody where a cherub was stabbing some saint with an arrow.
I enjoyed looking at the collections but I’m sorry, after three hours and me still not seeing the exit, I seriously told my sister that I wanted to escape from this IKEA museum. 😐 After sometime, the feeling of awe and excitement faded away and desperation and panic seeped in because the Louvre reminded me of IKEA and the Duty Free mall in my country…Where you have to go around the entire building to taste freedom again. 😐 Also, my eyes were so tired that whenever I closed my eyes for a few seconds I see paintings. I got dizzy too. I still enjoyed the Louvre despite the after effects.
Oh yeah, it was definitely better to bring your own food rather than buy food in the Louvre.
Anyway, after the Louvre we went to Notre Dame. The church was beautiful. I like gothic architecture (I don’t know much about it but I like looking at them) and the Notre Dame, I think, is probably one of the nicest products of it. I was disappointed that we couldn’t go up to see the gargoyles, but well, at least being able to enter the church was well worth-it. To highlight my day, I saw an amazingly swirled piece of shit going back to my hotel. Le Poo Poo indeed.
