We adjusted to Paris rather quickly yesterday and went to the Louvre last night. The museum grants free admission to everyone under 26 on Friday nights, so we felt very travel smart as we enjoyed 3 hours of mummies, artifacts, and of course, Mona. After our visit to perhaps the best museum I have ever seen, Tracy informs me that for dinner she wants some "pomme frites." In France, as you may already know, that you don't have to call the fries French. After our dinner we headed back for a rest and hit the Montmartre quarter for the flea market today. Then we walked to the Moulin Rouge, The Sacred Heart Basilica, and a cemetary whose headstones include Proust, Oscar Wilde, Chopin, and Jim Morrison. Guess whose headstone had the most security? Apparantly, Morrison's fans have been a bit rowdy over the years and now there is a guard as well as a code of conduct leaflet outlining the rules for visiting his remains. I wonder how Jim feels about these restrictions. Keep reading for one more day of Paris excitment!
