These past few days have been busy, the good kind of busy, but as a result I have a lot of catching up to do on this blog. So I'll start where I left off. Mom and I started Tuesday at the Mussee d'Orsay. The museum was originally built as a train station, so the building itself is overwhelming. We saw lots of Monet, Renoir, and my new favorite, Pissarro. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take pictures.
We headed next to the Musee Rodin. The museum is in an old mansion where Rodin once lived. The gardens are filled with some of his most famous works, like the Thinker and the Gates of Hell. I wasn't expecting to like this museum as much, but it turned out to be one of my favorites.

After the museum, we stopped in the gardens to sit for a bit. This was a great time for people-watching, something Mom and I are very good at. Then we headed to the Champs-Elysees to climb the Arc de Triomphe. It was a very windy day and unfortunately a bit overcast, but we still enjoyed a great view of the city.
