The Thinker

I was forty years old before I got to Paris. I had spent time in Scandinavia and the Middle East, but had never been to the continent of Europe. I was most impressed with the Rodan museum where The Thinker resides, and the Eiffel Tower. We rode up the Tower at midnight to see the lights of Paris. Breathtaking! We toured the Louvre, where I was appalled to see all the Japanese tourists taking pictures of the Mona Lisa with flash cameras, despite signs everywhere not to do so. The Rodan Museum was smaller and more intimate, especially so because so many of the statues were modelled by Rodan's lover, Camille. Very romantic and very revealling!
