Sculpture in the Musee Rodin <3
The second museum that we spent time at today was the Musee Rodin. This museum had beautiful gardens to walk around and enjoy. The collection in this museum were primarily by the sculptor, Auguste Rodin. The museum is an 18th century mansion. The pictures are from the grounds as well as various sculptures in the museum. Enjoy!

Today was once again rainy and cool so we opted for time in a couple of museums. The first one that we visited was the Musee D’Orsay. The building is quite impressive in its own right. The museum houses works from Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Manet & Renoir to name a few. It was quite thrilling to view these amazing pieces!

The tower!
Peeking through the flowers at the Tour Eiffel
Today started out a bit slow which was good. It was fun to lounge around and drink cafe creme, respond to email and complete some work. The weather was really nice today…only a little bit of rain and plenty of sunshine throughout the day. It was a lovely walk to the Tour Eiffel. I am in awe every time I see it!!! There were so many people around today that it was a bit distracting. There is a French holiday tomorrow and so we were told that many people form the countryside take a long weekend and come to Paris. The lines at the tower were incredibly long to ride to the top…even the lines to walk up several levels were quite a wait. One of the elevators is currently out of commission so the wait is around 2 1/2 hours! We did not wait….instead we walked all over the park that surrounds the tower and had a great picnic lunch in the park.
My feet are showing the amount of walking that we are doing. You should see my blisters! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! We walk probably a minimum of 6-8 miles most days and sometimes up to 10. It is great though. That is it for tonight…need to go soak my poor feet because tomorrow is a long day. Moulin Rouge tomorrow night at 11pm! FUN!
Wow! Incredible view of the Tour Eiffel!!
