Paris Day 4 - Rodin Museum

For our last full day in Paris, we had one more museum to hit (well, actually we squeezed one in the morning before we flew out, so technically this was second to last).  It seems that Paris has a never-ending supply of museums, so if you're a museum lover like me, it's a happy place to be.  The Rodin Museum was super fun, because really, who doesn't want to see The Thinker in person?

On the way, we walked by Napoleon's Tomb.

And then, there he was...

We walked through the garden area and saw a bunch of works, then came to another masterpiece, The Gates of Hell.

Pretty amazing stuff!  The rest of the day was spent strolling down Champs-Elysees and viewing the Arc du Triomphe, but unfortunately it was raining pretty hard by then so the camera stayed safely under my rain coat.  It was a gorgeous avenue though!

The next morning we swung into the Musee de l'Orangerie to see Monet's Water Lilies (absolutely stunning, by the way), and then treated ourselves to one last delicious French meal.  We went with a classic, boeuf bourguignon.

And yes, it tasted as good as it looked.  Almost made up for the fact that when we were done we had to pack up and head for the airport.   Although before we left, I made Donovan promise that we could come back someday.
