la cité de la mort

i went to this large cemetary today, called père lachaise cemetary... it is where a plethora of famous people are burried, including:

-edith piaf
-jim morrison
-chopin
-oscar wilde
-proust

It is an elaborate cemetary with large house-like gravestones above ground (it's in Paris, Je t'aime if you remember) ... it's more like a city of the burried than a cemetary. it was beautiful. you will see photos.

i also went to this cafe for lunch and spent way too much money, but it was delicious. i love the food here. i might be splurging on food when i return, but it will be farmer's market!!!

tonight i am (and chloe) going with the mother of the family we are staying with to her friend's house for pizza, then we're all (4 of us) going to the film "Gran Torrino"--hopefully i will understand it because it will most likely be dubbed in French. haha.
