Eiffel Tower at night
Ani Kerr and the restroom line. Paris restrooms look more like space pods than a place to relieve oneself.

Ali: We made the essential pilgrimage to the Eiffel Tower On Tuesday. It's quite awe-inspiring. To think that it was meant to be a temporary exhibit when it was first erected. Good thing someone decided to keep it up. Judging by the crazy amount of tourists, including us, the tower is an incredible source of revenue for the city. For lunch we had baguettes and a view of the tower. The Musee Rodin collection was amazing. The staff are pushy for you to get out at closing time though. We went back to the Eiffel Tower in the evening after a stroll down the Champs Elysees, lots of shops they have everywhere else in the world. We weren't expecting the Tower to light up in a glittering frenzy. C'est tres beau!
Bon jour ma fille,
ReplyDeleteIs Ali's fav sculpture by Rodin of his equally/more talented muse Camille Claudet?
Papa
Bon jour Papa,
ReplyDeleteThe sculpture is of Rose Beuret, whom wiki says he married. We did see some Claudet creations at the D'Orsay though. I thought they were much more tortured, more human, than Rodin's sculptures. Ani has pics of them.
