Finally at the Champs-Elysees |
We are here at a cafe on the Champs-Elysees! |
Lovely dinner - 1.00a.m. Saturday, 23rd June, 2012, Champs-Elysees |
On my way to the louvre through Champ-Elysees at around 8.15a.m. on Saturday, 23rd June 2012 |
Finally I am here at the louvre! |
It was saturday last week and it seems like yesterday when I was standing face to face with Monalisa along with several other admirers of hers - the atmosphere was simply surreal. Early saturday morning after taking the train, I arrived at Charles de Gaulle station from where I walked along the Champs-Elysees. I was at Chmaps-Elysees the night or should I say very early around 1a.m. of saturday for a very late dinner with friends and it was full of life and vigour - and here it was in the morning, very quite and peaceful. I cherished every second of my walk from Champs-Elysees to louvre humming along to 'Les Champs-Elysees...' by Joe Dassin. And finally the moment I had been waiting for - Face-to-Face with the Monalisa!!
I like the signpost - Making sure admirers reach Monalisa |
Face-to-face with Monalisa! |
Listening to the audio as I meet Monalisa heightened the excitement |
What a great Artist was Leonardo de Vinci |
The excited admirers! |
