interesting week...


Easter in Paris...
although sundays are generally quiet in paris (most shops are closed), this sunday proved to be even more so. It seemed as if everyone left town for easter weekend to their cottages in the country. It is pretty obvious to everyone reading this that i don't celebrate easter in the traditional sense but i was very curious about easter mass in paris. France is predominately catholic and i imagined the elaborate easter ceremonies. I stopped by the notre dame during easter mass just to peak in...it was a very interesting experience, very very elaborate with a monastic choir and all the bells and whistles that go into a religious ceremony (i have no idea what anything meant). I figured it would be the first and last easter mass i ever go to, so why not go to the notre dame? On Monday i went to the Pere Lachaise Cemetery. It is huge. the history there...wow.
took lots of pics.....
