Louvre

Paris is called the city of lights. It should be called the “City of Stairs”. I did more stairs today than I do in a year. Unending stairs in the metro stations. More staircases in the Louvre than a human could count. No wonder the French can eat and drink all they want and not get fat. Their city is like a giant Stairmaster.


The Louvre is amazing and also the most confusing museum I have ever been in. Poor signs or no signs. Everything in French. Crowds everywhere. If it didn’t house some of the most interesting pieces of history and art in world history, you wouldn't go near it on a bet.








But, was able to find most all of the items I was looking for. We have a couple of days to poke around Paris, then on to Berlin.
