Today we had lunch with one of AS's old friends from summer camp who lives in the same apartment building a few floors up. She and her roommate are both French but speak English too. It marked the first time all week we had a conversation with anyone who wasn't a waiter, which was refreshing. They cooked salmon and AS was too polite to turn it down even though she doesn't like fish. It was good, though I doubt I'll ever see her eat fish again.
After lunch we walked to the Louvre. We had bought our tickets ahead of time so we were able to stroll in and avoid the line. Here's a view from under the glass pyramid. Once you're inside there are signs everywhere pointing you in the direction of the Mona Lisa, but if you can't read then you can just follow the cattle herd that slowly ambles from the front door up some steps and down a hall to get to the painting. I took three snapshots of the journey. It really felt like we were being corralled along. In the last shot you can see the Mona Lisa in the distance.
