Rodin, The Sewers & Le Tour Eiffel – What a Weird Day
Becky | September 5, 2006 2:00 pmSo, it’s museum pass day number 4 and Chris realizes (finally) that we are nowhere close to finishing all the stuff to do in Paris. So today we tried to do too much. On the schedule was Rodin museum, sewer tours, Arc de Triomphe and Louvre part two. HAH!!! I say looking back. I was psycho for thinking that my boyfriend and me, who don’t wake up before noon, could get all that done. But we tried!
Rodin was great. That man could sculpt. He sculpted so much that it filled up the whole house and then some. The gardens were so nice (of course I got yelled at when I sat on the grass – I mean who knew you could not sit on the grass – geez, these French people and their perfect gardens). Saw the THINKER, and the GATES of HELL and lots of others. It was one of my favorite museums. Chris of course had to go up to the gates of hell and “Knockâ€. Lol. Oh the silly things we end up doing just to make ourselves laugh.
Sewer tour was educational but VERY STINKY. I learned that I never want to work in a sewer. I also learned that those people who do should be either sainted by the Pope or knighted by the Queen.
Le Tour Eiffel, was enchanting. Had a picnic dinner under it (in an area where you could sit on the grass). Had thought about going to the top, but too expensive and we had already had a view of the city from Notre Dame.
Omitted today was Louvre 2 and Arc de Triomphe due to the fact that on the way to Rodin I fell and twisted my knee, Why am I a klutz? Anyway, more stairs were a no go. Wishing I had ice or an ace wrap.
