I was so busy observing the scene of throngs of people with every imaginable type of digital camera trying to capture the Mona Lisa.

The first time the painting was so amazing, I stood and stared at it (I was 19 and not really amazed by much at that age). The second time, I found it not nearly as appealing because of the distance created by the protection it was given. Still, it is something special and how wonderful that you all were able to see the original. Enjoy your trip!
