Rodin's "Thinker"

Going to see the home where Rodin lived and walking through
his gardens was really amazing.  The gardens are basically the same today as they were when he lived there.  I walked through the house, beautiful windows and hardwood floors, trying to imagine what live was like living there. Huge french doors open to the formal gardens.  I could stand there and breath in the feeling for a very long time. This man born in 1840, had such incredible talent. It wasn't until he turned 40 that he set out upon a career as a sculptor.  Pretty wonderful story.
