Paris Day Two!

This morning we woke up around noon after recovering from somewhat severe jetlag. Once we motivated we set out for Sacre-Coeur, the Basilica of Sacred Heart which is located on top of Montmartre Hill. We toured the wonderfully detailed Church and admired the beautiful panorama of Paris from the grand front steps. Afterwards we explored the neighborhood of Montmarte and stopped for lunch outside a small cafe where we shared a champagnion pizza.
We then set out to see Jim Morrison's gravesite at Cimetiere du Pere LaChaise. After walking through a maze of moss covered gravestones we finally found the famous singers gravestone which is guarded full time. Also burried at Pere LaChaise is French singer Edith Piaf and french painter Pissarro. After paying our respects we hopped back on the Metro and headed northeast to find futuristic park, Parc de la Villette.
This park has 10 themed gardens, including a Mirror Garden, Bamboo Garden and garden of islands. Here we walked a couple miles, snapped a few choice photographs, then returned home to rest our feet and have dinner with our hosts Aune-Laure and Frederic.
