Hey, I'm MiKayla.

Hey, I'm MiKayla, and I went on a trip to Paris. But not just any trip. This was my trip. Well, and nine other students' trips. And ...

Hey, I didn't get lost.

Paris Solo Day! You know what that means? That means we had to go out into Paris...solo. We were each assigned our own place to visit for the day before meeting back up for a boat ride in the evening. Called off as if by Hunger Games districts, I was the last student to be sent to my destination: the Musee d'Rodin.

Named after the sculptor Auguste Rodin, the Musee d'Rodin featured a variety of sculptures, mainly from Rodin himself, as well as a few paintings from greats such as Van Gogh and Monet. The grounds also featured a garden which I particularly enjoyed. I liked Rodin's sculptures because of the emotions portrayed through the human body, but I liked the gardens because I could just sit, and, well, do nothing.


I should also note that before visiting the museum I ate at a cafe. By myself. And did nothing but eat. I didn't look at my phone or read or write or anything. I just sat there. It was one of the most difficult things I've ever made myself do.

After our solo day, we met back up at Pont Neuf to enjoy some delicious bread, cheese, and creme brulee provided by Herman and Nancy before taking a boat ride along the Seine. It was definitely a hot ride, but the beautiful view was worth it, and we snapped few more pictures of the Eiffel Tower along the way.

Until next time and au revoir. M
