Monmartre and the underwhelming final resting place of Jim Morrison












Spent most of the morning in Cimetaire du Pere Lachaise.  Incredible!  (All except for the very underwhelming grave of Jim Morrison; see below).  Also notable among the dead there: Moliere, Chopin, and Francis Poulenc (20th century French composer).  Visited the Musem of Erotic History near the Moulin Rouge.  Despite some persistent rain, enjoyed walking around Monmartre (the artist district) and seeing actual painters at work.  (None of that Thomas Kincaid rubbish!).  Sore ankles and calves today but we shall perservere!
