England Plus Paris: Part 2: Mona Lisa, some tourists

[Photo: Mona Lisa, some tourists]

Mona Lisa del Gioconda, with a few tourists. Normally, she's mobbed with tourists, with a long line waiting to get in. How did I avoid the line and get this photo with so few tourists, you ask? I took it at ~30 minutes to closing time, just a few minutes before guards started shooing people out of the museum. By this time, most of the tourists have become exhausted and left the building, and most of them have already seen the Mona Lisa (albeit cheek-by-jowl with the heaving multitude).
