Rodin Garden and other stuff

Yesterday was a lot of fun. I only had enough time to check out the garden at the Musée Rodin, but that happens to contain the Gates of Hell, of which I took 12 pictures. Here are two:

Up-close


At the Musée d'Orsay, we watched an old French silent film, which was good, but over three hours long. Also, the temptress character was not at all attractive, which annoyed me. Walking around the Latin Quarter is always awesome because there's always a lot going on. Amy and I almost watched Cloverfield, but we didn't want to watch it in French.

Friday was also pretty good: I had a 3.5-hour course on embryonic development and stayed awake for all of it. Then I spent the afternoon on l'Île de la Cité, which is the tiny island on the Seine that was once all of Paris. I saw an interesting man there who I decided to call "le maître des pigeons". With this picture, you don't really need a translation. Ben H., I hope this stirs something in your memory.And lastly, here's a nice picture of the Panthéon with jet trails in the background. It seems symbolic, or spiritual, or something.

I hope everyone in the States is doing well.
