Friday, August 17
This morning Chris and Mike jumped on the metro to go see the Arc de Triomphe. Pat and I met them later at the Rodin museum on the Left Bank. We ate lunch at the cafe in the gardens there.

After the Rodin the boys went to see the Invalides (war museum) while Pat and I went to the Musee d'Orsay, which has a magnificent collection of Impressionistic artwork. Unfortunately we weren't permitted to take photos of any artwork.
The Musee d'Orsay is located inside an old train station
