Love the Louvre

Louvre, Paris

I am sitting in the central patio outside the Louvre, got to love a fast and light laptop. I walked down this morning and spent a good three hours in the museum, starting with the Greek and Roman sculpture rooms and then onto the Ecole du Nord. The Louvre is huge and gets a bit tyring after a while but the Danish works are so beautiful and detailed it is easy to get lost in those rooms. I made a quick pass through the wing for the Italian masters but that was so stuffed with tourists (specially the room with the Mona Lisa) that I was not inclined to spend much time there.
