Musee Rodin

May 6, 2007

Everyone thinks that since I'm living in Paris, I have a pretty exciting life and lots of adventures on the weekends. The possiblity of adventure is there, but not every weekend of course. There are chores to be done, grocery to be bought and brought up the 5 flights of narrow, winding stairs. There is also that tug-o-war with the bed on weekend mornings…it just won't let me go!

I don't know how long I'm staying here, so I decided that every weekend will be an adventure..getting to whatever destination usually is, for me anyway. I took the metro to Varenne, to visit Musee Rodin and stand in front of the gates of hell.

It was raining lightly when I got there and it was cloudy for the first time in weeks. Probably the weather reflecting the upcoming mood for the elections tomorrow.

There were not many tourists there, and I do recommend a visit to it. The sculptures are quite evocative and in most cases, filled with longing…which reflected my mood.

 I will attach pictures once I get a chance.
