\nOn our fourth day in Paris, the fourth grader in me was jumping up and down because I finally got to see the Louvre. You see, back then, I religiously watched the Filipino-dubbed Anime Sanj\u016bshi or Three Musketeers<\/i><\/b> everyday after school. I would park my butt in front of the tv, eat my merienda<\/i>, and watch D’Artagnan and co’s adventures. For some reason, I was soooo hooked! Not just on the Alexandre Dumas classic storyline, but more of on the characters and the setting. In fact, I even copied and typed the encyclopaedia entries on Louis XIII, Anne of Austria, Cardinal Richelieu, the Louvre, etc, and printed myself a handout using the black and white MS DOS pc at home. Talk about old school and<\/i> major geek alert! Hahaha!<\/p>\n

One visit to the Louvre (or Luv-rah as improperly pronounced by Abs-Cbn) is not enough, but seeing everything at once is also not advisable. I feel that it is better experienced in chunks coz if you try to see everything in one go, you’ll be physically and mentally tired. So yes, I would love to go back again. I wouldn’t mind an afternoon just admiring the sculpture Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss, followed by people watching and hot chocolate from Paul in the adjacent Jardin des Tuileries.<\/p>\n
