We met up with our group, and walked around Paris to find the Louvre...since students get in for free from 6-9 pm on Fridays.

From across the pyramids, I face the beginning of the Champs-Elysees. That is a mini Arc de Triomphe but NOT the real one. It just looks cool at night.

Inside the museum, we bolted to the Mona Lisa. How exciting to see one of the most famous paintings in the whole world.

We got right up close at night but we did not go it. (We did the next morning). There is a light show at night, on every hour for 5 minutes. It was fantastic.
