****DISCLAIMER: French keyboards are weird. This post is abridged*****
Yesterday was our first full day in Paris, and we found ourselves trying to become situated with our surroundings. We ventured to Père Lachaise, the burial ground of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Proust, and a bunch of other rich guys with sculptures of themselves. Tre bien! We then proceeded to the Catacombs and walked among the dead once more, seeing thousands of bones. We took pictures, don't worry. Then an inexorable force led us to see the Lars Von Trier film, Antichrist. Im trying to think of what to write about it, but haven't even deciphered it myself.
Why we did so many things related to death, I'm not certain, but to clean the palate, we viewed the Eiffel Tower.
Today we went to the Louvre, and in front of the Mona Lisa Danny said, and I quote: "I'm not sure what makes this any better than any copy of it." Everybody turned and gasped. But in all fairness, I wasn't enchanted by the Louvre as most. I loved walking through the building, but you can only see so many paintings of women breastfeeding.
I simply cannot type another letter on this damned thing.

*Shakespeare & Company

Just caught up on your adventures! I actually skipped Mona at the Louvre. The lines were so long and there were so many other things to see, I figured she couldn't be that much better than her copies too! See you on the 4th at Aunt Janets!
