Život v Cizine (was La Vie Expatriée)
I'm finally satisfying a long-held dream of living abroad.
I started with six months in France followed by two and half years in the Czech Republic.
Now, I'm giving Turkey a try.

Musée Rodin
Last week's sightseeing trip was a visit to the Musée Rodin, one of my favorites. They had just opened a new exhibit, Le Rêve Japonais (The Japanese Dream), which includes both Japanese selections from Rodin's private collection as well as Japanese inspired works of Rodin.
I was not all that blown away by the exhibit, although that says more about my tastes than the exhibit. The reason I really visit the Rodin is to wander in the garden and visit my favorite sculptures. The Thinker, for example:
Or The Burghers of Calais, which is just heartbreaking:
The Three Shades I find fascinating: it's three of the same figure, just turned differently:
And of course, I could pour over The Gates of Hell indefinitely:
