Pictured above are three pictures of Mona. The first two are of the most famous one, Mona Lisa. But they are not in museums, rather out in public. The top one is on a mural at the American School of Dubai, where we visited in November. The second one is on a portapotty in Italy.
David and Anna travelled to France in December to see the Real one, located in the Louvre museum in France. I have also been fortunate to see "her". Actually, it's a bit of a letdown because the painting is not much bigger than a ledger size piece of paper. And now she's behind glass so it's a little harder to see her.
David says he got a bigger kick out of watching people look at the painting, rather than looking at the actual painting itself. I felt the same way the second time I saw Michaelangelo's David in Florence.
The third picture is our Miss Mona, an AIS teacher who I've spoken about before. She schedules our fun outings and was the chief organizer behind the Obamarama party Tuesday night. She's not as famous but she's a favorite of mine because of all she does to help us appreciate the culture of Kuwait and to get up off our couches and "HAVE FUN WHILE YOU ARE HERE".
