First time at the Rodin Museum. Definitely a must-go.
"Explore one of the world's most distinguished collections of works by Auguste Rodin, the genius who is often regarded as the father of modern sculpture. Learn more about such masterpieces as The Gates of Hell, The Thinker, and Eternal Springtime as well as lesser-known works."
"With over 140 bronzes, marbles, and plasters, the distinguished collection housed in the Rodin Museum represents every phase of Auguste Rodin's career. Located on Philadelphia's Benjamin Franklin Parkway—which was intended to evoke the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris—the elegant Beaux-Arts–style building and garden offer an absorbing indoor and outdoor experience."

Lastly a casual dinner at Pascade by Alexandre Bourdas (chef of Sa.Qua.Na). The super light and fluffy truffle pancake (see previous post here) from Sa.Qua.Na exudes crazy aromatic flavours that linger with you for a long time.. and we uber love it. So when we learnt about this restaurant in Paris, we didn't hesitate to check it out. It was all good, until we found out that they really ONLY sell the pancake! 6 savoury and 5 sweets...that's all there was on the menu. Pretty disappointing actually, especially since the pancake still tastes best in its original form without all those topping. You can see how it could get boring after awhile... I thus recommend this place for some pre-dinner drinks and snacks instead. Order to share.
THIS BRINGS ME TO THE END OF MY 2013 EUROPE TRIP POSTS!!!!
