Père Lachaise again

We finally went back to the cemetery to finish the walk we halfway completed about a month ago, before being scared off by a creeper. ("Jeem Mor-ee-zun, Jeem Mor-ee-zun!") It's a cool place. This is very incomplete because we were all taking pictures with each other's cameras. I'll add more later. The highlights for me were Chopin, Molière, and Oscar Wilde.
A nearby café. Instead of Father Lachaise, Mother Lachaise. Clever.
I always stop to drool over pastry shop windows, but this was the most beautiful I've ever seen.

The Happy Family!
Enrico Cernuschi (1821-1896), a politican and banker who donated his collection of Far-Eastern art to found a museum named after him.
Earl?
Louis Visconti (1791-1853), architect for the expanded Louvre and Napoleon's tomb.
Rossini (1792-1868), the great opera composer. His body was given back to Italy in 1887.
Writer Alfred de Musset. His sister is just behind him.
Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann is responsible for the gentrification of Paris that took place under Napoleon III between 1853 and 1870--large boulevards, parks, and the architectural style that dominates the city today.
Jim Morrison. The walks book (Marc Olivier, for those who may know who he is) says "the scent of marijuana will almost lead to this site of rock pilgrimage. You will see what it's like to have groupies even in death."

Paying homage to our favorite French playwright, the great Molière. La Fontaine is next to him. Their remains may or may not actually be in the graves, which were transferred to the cemetery in 1817--basically a publicity stunt.
After this adventure, we had another...we killed some time before a movie we were planning to see, but got separated in the process. You really appreciate the convenience of cell phones when you don't have one. Fortunately, I was not separated by myself but with Sarah. We explored the Les Halles area (where I get off the train for school) and between the two of us were able to remember the metro stop where the movie theater was (Jacqueline had the information in her Pariscope). Then, geniuses that we are, we were able to remember the name of and locate the theater on the neighborhood map. Once we found it, there was no one there, but we nevertheless congratulated ourselves on leaving early enough that we made it by the appointed meeting time despite the long delays on metro line 4. We finally gave up and decided to do more exploring when we ran into the rest of the group, who had been delayed on said line 4. In trying to plan our next move, Sarah and I were distracted by a nearby shoe store (we had been looking at shoes all day). Took the metro to a place loaded with theaters, decided on a movie, found out student discounts don't apply to Friday nights, decided it was too expensive, and wandered for a while until we found a gelato shop. It was fun. And I bought shoes.
