June 24th- Ou Voir, Paris!

I feel like we just got to Paris, and we're leaving tomorrow!

Today we went to the Pere- Lachaise cemetery to look at patterns. The place reminded me of the song "Wishing You Were Somehow Hear Again" from Phantom of the Opera . I saw James Morrison's grave, and apparently Oscar Wilde and Chopin are also buried there. A lot of the graves looked like small houses, and the cobbled paths throughout the cemetery had street names and signs... It was like a neighborhood for the dead. Kind of an eerie thought. It was a really interesting place and I actually enjoyed it.






On the way back to the Hotel we stopped at the Louxembourg gardens and sketched. When we got back and packed our things for the flight to Spain. Most everyone had to buy boxes at the post office and send stuff home because of the weight limit for our flight. Good news- I didn't have to because my stuff was just under the weight limit! :D

We did a little bit of shopping and had dinner at a local sandwich shop. Then to commemorate our last night in Paris, we ate pastries at the Eiffel tower and sketched. It was wonderful.

 

Our trip is nearing its end. Tomorrow morning, we're off to Barcelona!
