Last afternoon in Paris!

Found a little cyber cafe to check a few details about the trip, so thought I'd let you know that we made it through the night! :)

Yesterday's trip to the Normandy Memorial was fantastic... while we didn't get any further than Caen, see the beaches, or the cemeteries, the Memorial Museum is absolutely a must-see, but devote at least 4-5 hours for it... not only is there Normandy information but everything from build-up to the war and then all the way up through the cold war era to the bringing down of the Berlin Wall... Absolutely fantastic! Also an interesting exhibit on the world environmental issues and media... very well done.

This morning we lazily left the Hostel and made our way to the Notre Dame Cathedral, always an amazing stop! It was gorgeous, and of course Matt had to take a funny Quasi Modo picture haha...

Then it was off to the Catacombs, a very eerie place indeed... look up pictures on the web or something because it's hard to explain... 20 meters under ground level, below the metro and water lines, are these catacombs... and throughout history they became graves... over 5,000 people are down there... eerie indeed...

Now I've got to reserve my train ticket east for when I get back from India, then it's off to the hostel to pick up our things and we're on our way to the airport to catch a plane! Have had a fantastic time in Paris as always, just sad to leave with so much more we could do... but looking forward to India!

Blessings,
