By the time I reached the Venus de Milo, she was surrounded by a huge group of Japanese tourists. They were very quiet but densely-packed, and each one would walk up to the statue & pose. Their friend would take their photo, and they'd step away for the next one to have their picture taken, in exactly the same spot, in exactly the same pose.I wish I could have gotten copies of all of those photos. It would have made an interesting short film to have each morph into the next, into the next, &c. until you'd seen the entire group. I had to wait quite a while until they'd finished so I could quickly snap this shot.
