1. Musee RodinI have to write a few paragraphs on the kiss which is the white statues and the writing who is wearing the coat and leaning back. The big one that looks like doors is called the Gates of Hell and I think that the 3 guys look like they are going the singles lady dance. 2. PantheonWe didn't go into the Pantheon because for our assignment we just had to see the outside and we wanted to see some of the other musuems before they closed today. 3. Saint ChapelleIt is so amazing in person. We learned that during two wars they took out all the glass and put it in storage. I'm not sure how they did that beause they are really in single long glass panels like little squares. 4. ConCiergerieThis is right next to Saint Chapelle so we stopped in for a few minutes. It used to be a prision that held Marie Antionette before she was excuted. It had amazing architecture on the inside. Then we stopped at a crepe place for lunch I just reaffirmed my belief that I don't like crepes. 5. LouvreWe had to go back to the Louvre because some of the rooms that had paintings in them the we needed to see to write a paper on was closed on Monday. Since I was there I went and got a better photo of me at the Mona Lisa. The first one on monday was really bad but this one still isn't great. I blame the light everyone looked a little weird under it. The other photos are of Venus and Nike. 6. Musee National De L'OrangerieI them had to book it over to the Musee National De L'Orangerie. It closed at 6 and we got there at 5:29 PM and they barely let us in. It is a small musuem that really only has a Monets - Water Lilies. They are huge! The fill every wall in extremely large rooms. I have a video but again it won't let me upload videos. They are curved and just cover the walls in a room that is probably 20 feet by 30 feet. We saw this on the way to the metro. It was pretty to see the sun set and the Eiffel Tower lighting up. A lot of french people were also stopping and taking pictures becuase it was so pretty. We then went home and had our frozen food that we got yesterday at the picard.
