These massive doors are pretty cool. They've got tiny versions of all of Rodin's sculptures on them. AS found out that they're supposed to be the doors to the last circle of hell in Dante's Inferno, the ones that say Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here. Not to be confused, of course, with the sign above the audience doors at The Daily Show which reads Abandon News All Ye Who Enter Here.
AS tells me this sculpture of three men is also famous. I believe I said "Look there's the Eiffel Tower!"
Here's one more snapshot of us in the main courtyard and then a clean shot of the museum and the weird giant silver sculptures.
After a long day of walking we stopped at the cheese shop and picked up a new cheese to have with a baguette for dinner. We got a hard cheese this time that's less smelly than the cheese we bought on Sunday. I would compare it to a stronger parmesan with a hint of smelliness. Delicious.
Tomorrow we tackle the Louvre, where I understand if we don't crack at least one of DaVinci's codes we get our Euros back.
