Sean Lennon Day 6, Paris anyone?

6 days in Paris is hard to beat. It ended up going by pretty fast too. Today we headed off to the Père-Lachaise cemetery, which is absolutely massive, and saw graves belonging to folks such as Jim Morrison, Gertrude Stein, Edith Piaf and a tonne of war memorials. After a couple hours of that, we had lunch around the corner, then we made our way to Tourist Mistake #2 (#1 was the Louvre), the Champs Elysees. It was nice, a great walk, but again, so many tourists, so many bad stores. We made it down to the Arc de Triomphe, so it was cool to see that, but it had started raining so we bailed in to the metro station and made our way back.

We rested at the hotel for a bit, then decided to head back up the hill in Montmartre to find another good place to eat. That wasn't very hard... Afterwards, we stopped by one of the cafes that we turned in to our local hangout, had a farewell beverage, and headed home. We actually have to work tomorrow...
