Paris Day 3

Paris Day 3

Drunk frenchman who slept in his own filth and on the floor of the metro. Ewww...

We started the day a bit late as most of us had a bit of a sleep in. All of us trying to adjust to the longer days than night. Lez wanted to go see the grave where Oscar Wilde was buried (Pere Lachaise), to pay homage to her fave author. Shes been talking about it for the longest time, ever since we were in our teens so I'm very happy that she could finally fulfill it. The cemetary is very famous and a lot of legendary musicians/poets/authors, whoever who was anyone in France were laid to rest here. Jim Morrison was also buried here.

It is such a shame that Oscar's grave was covered in graffiti whereby it used to be only covered in kisses/lipstick marks. Clearly, he has some crazed fans. 

In comparison, here is a photo of Dita Von Teese at the grave before it was covered in filth.

Pere Lachaise is situated in the 20th arrondissement of Paris and compared to other cemetaries, is actually very tranquil, picturesque and while this might sound weird, is actually a nice place to have a walk on a beautiful Spring morning.

Next stop, The Lourve.

Not much to say about this place that you wouldn't already know. I am happy that I got a chance to be there. While I'm not terribly cultured in the arts and things, its definitely eye opening to be surrounded by so many great and amazing things from all around the world that you only read about. Of course it was impossible to see everything the Louvre has to offer ( you would need to be there for 6 months at least ). Here are some random shots that we took.

Yes thats the REAL Mona Lisa in the background. I am not convinced that it is actually the original.
