Today, Ray and I had a slow morning then spent a leisurely afternoon at the famous Paris cemetery, Pere Lachaise. The rain started early but luckily stopped for the whole time Ray and I were wandering about this very old and very beautiful burial place. Last time we visited, which was many years ago, we headed over to see Jim Morrison’s grave and also Oscar Wilde’s. Today, we had a list of graves to see that included singer Edith Piaf, writers Colette, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, and Marcel Proust, painters Eugene Delacroix, Georges Seurat, Jacques Louis David, Max Ernst, and Gustavo Caillebotte.

The day was gray, the trees bare, and the cobblestone streets shiny with the recent rain. We saw few other people as we made our way through the winding roads to find the graves of these people we both greatly admire. In other words, it was just perfect and I will remember this day for a very long time.

Here are photos of this lovely day:
