Paris I

Paris!
Here I am at the Eiffel Tower on our first day in the city. We spent 3 days in Paris altogether. We had a picnic with wine and waited until dark for the lights to come on. This is my attempt to fit in. So many people walk around with baguettes :)... not a false stereotype

This is me with our couchsurfing host Mikella who has been living in Paris for about a year and showed us around the whole city.

This is me and Mikella walking through pere lachaise which is a very big cemetery. There are many big graves that have space for people to go inside and pray.

This is Sacre Coeur. It is a beautiful cathedral at the top of Montmartre (up about a thousand stairs) and there is an amazing view of the entire city.

  4. It was a really fascinating cemetary.... though we couldn't help thinking that Paris is strange, since people payed hundreds of thousands of dollars for these cement tombs to hold their dead bodies, while people sleep in the street and piss in the subway.

  5. Glad you're having a great time. Give my best to my 2 cousins - your OMA and Jan.

    Jan;s house has to be the coolest. I've spent many nights in the little guest house.

    Best Regards
