2. Woah! Lots of problems. What a shame...

I actually visited The Louvre 10 yrs ago this Sept.

Totally unexpected! I was on a vacation in Western Switzerland (aunt and uncle), for 3 weeks. I was making art w my aunt. I mentioned if I could take a train to Paris for a day.
Instead my aunt took me, and a cousin to Paris for 4 days!!!

The Louvre was amazing between the building, and the art.
Unfortunately, I didn't write down some of the landscape paintings artist's names. I'm more familiar with some of The Hudson School painters.

Anyway, the most stunning moment was coming out of a fairly wide hall into this gigantic room! At the end we emerged into; the more narrow side was The Winged Victory! I practically gasped with joy. A favorite!
