Now this is the way to clean a street. None of this riding around on a machine that just kicks the dust around, like they do in L.A. You don't even have to move your car for these guys to do their work!
We went back to Montmarte because Mom hadn't gone. Had a nice stroll around, but didn't find the same square that Hydra and I had visited. We'd planned to take the funicular to Sacre Couer, but it wasn't running!
Stopped for lunch in the neighborhood. We had so many cafe au laits (Mom) and regular espresso-style cafes (me) that I thought I should get a photo of them. Great way to top off a meal.
We bought a map at the entrance to Pere Lachaise cemetery, and the vendor let us pay 2 US dollars rather than 2 Euros, which is a savings of about seventy cents. In order, he said, to show his company's continuing gratitude for the U.S. liberating Paris. Nice surprise.
Just liked the look on this woman's face.
Oooh, now this is what I was hoping for more of. Sort of creepy stuff. There was less of it than I expected, but I liked this a lot.
Another expressive statue.
There were also a handful of more recent graves. These pebbles were arranged on the tomb of an infant. Toys had also been placed all over the surface.
Just a shot of our supper. Typical meal at home in Paris for us. We are beginning to seriously crave veggies.

Shu-Ju,
We did actually have a salad about every day. Sometimes with a big round of warm cheese on top, admittedly! But we found it just a bit too complicated to buy veggies in the grocery store. You had to weigh and mark them yourself and it was just too much for our little overworked brains. We absolutly pounced on some apples being sold by the piece at a little convenience store!
