Mona.
So the Louvre was fun. We spent so much time there... even taking into consideration how crazy huge that museum is. I also took this picture of my lady Mona intentionally with lots of space around it. It stresses how small the painting actually is. And I'm calling her out. I don't think she's actually smiling. I'm convinced it's more of a grimace. She had a wedgie and couldn't fix it because she had to be still for the portrait. That's a much more believable story. Women weren't happy during the Renaissance. Feminine mystique? Phooey.
I really wish I had the energy or creativity to write anything more. Maybe tomorrow I'll move on to London?
Ciao Bella!

The Mona Lisa is underwhelming. The crowds of tourists from Asia trying to take pictures of it are overwhelming. I am surprised there is not actually an Asian person in this photo, to be quite honest.
