Trip Review-Day 9 The Louvre

To the average art student it is the ultimate museum experience and truly one of the great museums of the world.  Today it was a little difficult because we had already done the Orangerie.  I was still basking in the glow of Monet and his blue brushstrokes.   Our travel agents had found out about a strike that was going to happen on Friday, so we had to do both on the same day.  We had gotten to the Louvre around 12:15 and had a snack and sat for few minutes.   Then we strapped on our headphones and began the "tour".  I got yelled at by a guard and tour guide because I hadn't registered as a tour guide.  30 Euros later I had my badge.  We continued through as a group until around 5:00 pm.
