After lunch and nap time, we departed for afternoon of history and culture. In Paris, most of the museums and historical places we visit are free for students. Madame took a few minutes to explain to the group what an opportunity they have to be enriched in culture. Our first stop was Rodin's museum. The house and gardens are home to his most famous works including "The Thinker", "The Kiss" and the "The Gates of Hell". His works in marble and bronze are amazing to view. We headed to Les Invalides - the home of Napoleon's Tomb. In addition to Napoleon, some of his family members and soldiers that served for him are buried here. Although we were going to head home, we took the girls to Galleries Lafayette for shopping. Some ate dinner out, while other ate dinner at FIAP. Today, we are headed to the Louvre and expect an early evening since we are departing for Mont St. Michel and Normany Saturday morning.
