The Tower

And then there were only 2

Duane is stunned to learn there are only 2 more days of Paris. Where does the time go? If you check FB today there is a picture of Duane and his sibs from about 1957 or so. Where does the time go? 
But Paula and Duane let NO grass grow under their feet. We visit the Rodin Musee and take a walk. Rodin was one of those artists that actually made money while he was alive and moved to this place.
Rodin, of course, is best known for this guy:
Le Pensevr. . . Or as we like to call him. . . . The Thinker. Pensive huh?. . . . 
From the other side he is just as pensive. . . Duane thinks he is worried about the pointy tree behind him. Where do pointed trees come from anyway? There is a huge garden and it is filled with things like this. No, not pointed trees, sculptures.
And just behind this guy is good ole Napoleon's tomb.
But the real hero of the day came out at night. .. . See if you recognize her.
Duane got a little close on this one. . . How about this one?
Whoops! Still too close. . . 
At night this baby really shows her stuff. Every hour, on the hour, they light her up like New Year's Eve for 5 minutes. . . It is stunning! Duane forgets how many light bulbs there are. It must be millions!
