Dancing in the Paris rain

After getting up yesterday at 10h30 in the morning (yes I slept for like 13 hours), we got up and got ready for our day. We needed to fix some train ticket stuff, so we headed for the train station to ask some questions. Don't even worry, we went into the wrong office at first. We sat there waiting for our turn for almost 20 minutes before we realized we were in the wrong place! After finding the correct ticket office, we stood in line and again waited our turn. Luckily we got helped by a really cute French guy. AND he was patient with us. AND he helped us get the correct reservations. AND he laughed with us as were trying to figure this all out. It's funny that Marnie and I are noticing that there are actually some good looking young French men out here. As missionaries, we never noticed, nor did we care. But now, as real people, I'm noticing that they really exist! Funny how that works...

After that, we headed to Père Lachaise cemetary...Final resting place to such personages as Jim Morrison; Edith Piaf, Molière, and Oscar Wilde. Unfortunately, we didn't want to spend 10 euros on a map of the place, and because of that, we could only find Oscar Wilde's tomb. It was hilarious to see all the kisses that covered his tomb, and all the tourists that gathered round it. I wish we could have found Molière's or Edith Piaf's. The place was so huge! It was like a labyrinth. Maybe we'll have time again later to check it out some more...

Later we hung out with some Frenchies....Thomas, Cédric, and Liddi. We bought some Subway sandwiches and hung out in front of the famous museum Centre Georges Pompidou. It was so cool because it's just a bunch of random people literally from all over the world. People were performing for money, others were just chillin' with their guitars, others were strolling by, and others even slept on the ground! Too cool.

We strolled on the Champs Elysées after dinner and bought ourselves some ice cream as we window shopped. How cliché...

We made it back to downtown Paris just as it started to storm. The rain just poured and poured! It was FANTASTIQUE! Marnie and I just ran in the rain and loved every minute of it. Ahhh...dacing in the Parisian rain.
