Well before we went up the Eiffel Tower we went to the Louve which was massive. Last time I was in Paris with Contiki we couldnt go to the Louve as it was closed so this is the first time I have seen it. We went in and of course our first point of call was the Mona Lisa which I have attached a photo but it is a bit blury but it is behind glass so I think this doesnt help when taking photos. We wandered around and looked at the statues and some of the paintings but didnt see all of it - you would have to be there all day! The architecture of the building itself is mind blowing and the ceilings are absolutely beautiful - that is what I love about Paris and alot of the European places is that everywhere you look there is this beautiful old buildings and statues everywhere. We were talking about other places we would like to go and Tim said Rio De Janeiro and Emily said that Rio DeGeneres was in the book twighlight - well we cracked up and asked if this was the distant cousin to Ellen DeGeneres!!!! Then we went to get a drink and Matthew got a coke and Emily said can I have a Zup - I said a what - and I looked up and the cans and I said do you mean 7up - so funny!!
