Louvre Loonies

October 2nd was our second visit to the Louvre on this campaign, covering far more ground than the previous visit. But five hours in the great museum takes its toll, and some of us begin to feel a bit giddy.

Largest Della Robbia we've yet seen: a Lift-off 
(you can see J's feet disappearing into the clouds 
at the top)


Why there are so many Della Robbias: the entire clan was doing
them

Batter up! Not the only thing that was up

Apollo has downloaded the Louvre map to his phone in order
to find his gallery (Gallery of Apollo)

Extreme Medici nose

"Don't make my butt too big" #1,632

Extreme Christian piercing

Saintly fly-by

Holy tea towel

Same model as you know who

Jesus calculating how much water it will take to convert enough
wine for a Veronese Cana wedding canvas...let's see, 4 cups per
wineskin, 2 cups per person...water it down a bit...

Today's mob to see Mr. Smokey's Special Lady Friend

Cat doing what cats do

Why do circumcisions always draw such a crowd?

"Such a big knife?"

Louvre graffiti

Still has her 8th grade paper on A Farewell to Arms

Back-scratcher handle broke off

Tennis racket handle broke off

Did not break off
