So we went the the Louvre museum today to see the Mona Lisa.
One of these pictures shows the crowd gathered around the painting to take pictures. I fought my way all the way up to the front to get my shot and since it was encased in glass there was a glare anyway. I was disappointed. But at least we saw it in person.To be honest we were on a guided tour with head phones and after the Mona Lisa I couldn't take it anymore. I ripped my head phones off and just followed everyone. I was bored to death. Museums have never impressed me.
Saw A LOT today and we are both exhausted. Came back to try and nap only to be woken up by a few rooms down swearing down into the streets and tossing beer bottles at cars. We both jumped up and watched out the window, hoping no one would get hit.
Tomorrow is going to be a pain. We have to make our way to the train station, through customs and then ride the Euro Rail over night to Barcelona. Whose idea was this anyway?????????? Hoping 1. Our bags don't get stolen and 2. We wake up for our stop.
Really not sure how this works... but I can tell you Melissa's earrings got stolen off her ears on the train in India. And I flipped out on the train in India so much so that we had to buy flights to return from our destination because I refused to go back on the train! Omg omg omg. Going to be away from the Internet for 2 days, but check back for updates from Spain!
XOXO,

I'm assuming Melissa was asleep when her earrings were lifted.????? That is crazy! I do indeed remember the flight, rather than the train ride, from the Camel Fair in Rajasthan back to your place in Ahmedabad. Janelle, Janelle!!!!! I am SO glad you got to see the Mona Lisa. I am actually surprised that picture taking was allowed in the museum. I'm guessing it was because She was under glass.
