GB: Paris Day Four: Death March 2: The Re-Deathening: Photo Set 1






Bonjour from Paris, where I have changed into sweatpants and will not be putting on tennis shoes again until tomorrow.

We embarked on another five hour long death march around Paris today to see the natural history museum and Musee de Rodin. Thankfully, we evened out any healthiness of exercise by finishing off our fancy desserts from yesterday. (No photos, only shame.)

The natural history museum is located in a sprawling garden along with a "zoo," rose garden, paleontology museum, and botanic conservatory. We actually didn't go to the natural history part or the zoo. The zoo only had a dozen or so animals, most of which you could see by walking around the park and peaking through fences.

The roses weren't covered with tissue today and there were several cool looking rocks scattered through the garden, as you can see in one of the photos below.

There were several tree lined paths like this one that provided well needed shade in the garden.

There was also a Phipps-like conservatory in the garden that had a few large rooms with plants in them.
