nyc nyc, i'm back baby!
this is my first post of 2011, also being my 101st post!!!
and what better way to embrace such an entry than with
some old school italians, a sphinx, and a ferris wheel?!!!
while in paris, i kicked it back with mona lisa at the Musée du Louvre.
the last time i had the pleasure of being amidst the masterpieces the loure holds, was 6 years ago. no art exhibition, no showcase that i have ever attended compares to this treasure chest of a museum. this is definitely a worldwide landmark, home to a number of mankind's precious artistic gems. located in the heart of paris, the city of lights... being a precious gem of its own, nestling some of histories most breathtaking monuments.
as thrilled as a kid at a candy store, i snapped away countless of pictures...
navigating through italian works of art and egyptian jewels.
here's a tour of the wonders i came across.

enormous beauties
finally made my way through the crowd to catch a glimpse of history's most valued painting.
it's a very surreal feeling...
squirmed through people from all over the world and manages to get DIRECTLY in front of it... being petite has its benefits ^___^
very sweet of the louvre to give the disabled
the best view of the painting.
the masses!
onto the rest of the museum...
breathtaking roof...
the effort... the time... the patience... the skill
it takes to produce this, is incalculable...
