Sortie? Oh yes, Sortie...

The last few days have been a little crazy with how busy it's been... So, I'm going to try to post some of the more significant things that have gone on in the last few days..

Today, Andrew and I headed over to the 14th district (Paris is divided up into various districts that are used as popular reference points) in order to visit the Paris Catacombes, where millions of bodies were placed after the Black Death under neath the city in miles of underground tunnels. In the 19th century, all of these were arranged into disturbing works of art made of bones, and a few years ago, these were opened up to the public. It was a lot of walking, pretty creepy, but well worth it.

Then, we headed over to the Louvre to do the obligatory viewing of the Mona Lisa. It was more entertaining to watch the crowds than the painting, in our opinion, but still, all of the more than 30,000 works, as well as the beauty of the architecture of the structure itself, were phenomenal. All of the Egyptian sarcophagi, the Roman statues... it was ridiculous.

Well, I meant to post more, but tomorrow's another early day. We had a great Italian dinner, and finished off with a few drinks at a juice bar in the Bastille neighborhood. Hopefully, we catch up on a little sleep to make it through the week.
