Day 3, Paris: On The World's Greatest Collection of Art, or, Sexy Religious Figures and Unsexy American Bachelorettes

Paris is a sexy town, to be sure, and it seems to have the profound effect of making things that aren't necessarily sexy seem, well, sexier. As I sit drafting this entry on a small circular sofa in the Pavillon Denon of the Louvre, I'm struck by how sexy a scantily-clad martyr can be. Now I don't know from art, but I do know sexy. And Mary Magdalene is one fine looking piece of art.

A group of a half-dozen-or-so American tourists in matching "Sex and the City" t-shirts who look like they boarded the wrong plane to their "What-Happens-In-Vegas" bachelorette party, however, is not sexy.

Americans.

Confirmed stereotypes:
- Americans are boors
- Classical art is boring
- Paris is sexy

Camera dead. Jetlag attacking. Need sleep. More later.
