Things I love about Paris today...
-Versailles in all its glory. The lines not so much.
-Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise. This is where Jim Morrison is actually buried. Amazing to see so many paying their respects to a main whose music touched them over 40 years ago.
-Impromptu Carnaval parade. Mardi Gras Paris style. No beads (or boobs) required.
-The Eiffel Tower. We got there around dusk and saw the tower in a beautiful blue dusky sky. In a word: amazing. We walked to the second deck (the top was closed) and arrived just in time to see the light show that goes off every hour. I lay down on the observation deck for an amazing view. Best show you could get for 4 Euros. I also lay down at the bottom directly in the center for another exciting view. It was a perfect end to the trip. :)
-The intoxicated man on the metro offering us his beer.
-Holding strong on our crepe a day rule.
