--Another
busy day! With the Eiffel Tower as the first thing on our list, we walked up
the stairs to the second “floor”, and took a lift to the top. Walking up the
stairs was really cool, getting to slowly see the structure from within as you
slowly make your way up. I would definitely recommend it. And, of course, there
was the beautiful view from the top.
Then, we went to Notre Dame, and inside the church as well. We also went to the infamous cemetery Pere Lachaise, which holds the graves of Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, and Jim Morrison. It was a beautiful cemetery, and it was interesting to see and learn that cemeteries in Paris are not a place to mourn a loss, but rather a public place to stroll around and appreciate the lives of those within the cemetery. A lighter and new perspective. In the evening, Nikki and Jayne came over and Michelle made the five of us a wonderful dinner (even though she only had pepper and salt as spices!)
