Napoleon

I am considering going to Les Invalides today. When I began to think about the prospect of going, I got really nervous. I believe there are two reasons I have never visited the resting place of my hero, Napoleon Bonaparte before now.

1. Afraid of Disappointment
Napoleon was the best in the business when it comes to making himself look good. He erected monument after monument to himself while he was still alive. BUT he did not plan his tomb at Les Invalides. I am worried I will get there and say "this is it?" Plus visiting him is one of the top activities on my bucket list, I've built it up too much.

2. Afraid of Rejection
Honestly I am afraid of that man. Am I worthy to look upon him? Have you seen his throne?

Also, what do I do when I get there? Write a poem? Pee my pants? I guess I will let you know.
