As mentioned previously, we went to the Catacombs last week. Which of course is an underground tunnel packed with bones and skulls.
Today, we spent the afternoon at the Cimetière Père Lachaise, which is, obviously, a cemetary. Another area of space occupied by dead bodies. Three different presentations of death and what happens after death; three different presentations of where you get to go when you die in Paris, depending on whether you were poor, or a king or, you know, a regular person or Jim Morrison or whatever.
All in all, very cool.
Several of our staff are from Iran and have been wearing green t-shirts for the past few days. They're not happy, either. Rachel
