The Louvre, Jour Deux–November 6, 2023

Today we walked along the banks of the Seine and then revisited the Louvre. I read somewhere that if you really want to see everything in the Louvre it would take about three months. After navigating it today with the museum map, I would tack on another month just to learn how to avoid getting lost twenty times a day. There are only a few elevators and a million sets of counterintuitive stairs, many of which you have to go up and down numerous times to reach another wing. I am geographically challenged, but Doug is usually spot on. Even he couldn’t figure out the map.

We were lost in the Louvre so long that we missed lunch, so we had a chocolate eclair and a raspberry tart here:

Then tonight we visited the Eiffel Tower for dinner. The Eiffel Tower was spectacular. The meal was okay. What I couldn’t figure out was why the piped in music was the same version of “Theme From A Summer Place” for the three hours we were there. Most are too young to remember, but “A Summer Place” was a B grade movie filmed in 1959. Listen to it only if you are ready for an annoying ear worm.

On a last note, I am unable to figure out how to not make my first picture posted post twice. Tonight it of is of me by the Venus de Milo looking harried.
