Slow Starting Saturday

Well it's understandable that when we finally did rise from our slumber of 4 hours, we were a little groggy, and to say the least hungover. We decided to do nothing.

I dropped Jessica off at the Montparnasse station so she could go home and take care of the kiddies, and since I was in the nieghbourhood, I decided to go see Sartre and Beauvoir, amongst others at the Cimitiere Montparnasse. It was a beautiful day, I didn't want to completely write it off! Buried here are the existentialists, Jean-Paul Sartre with Simone de Beauvoir, Charles Baudelaire, my favourite absurdist playwright Samuel Beckett and the sculptural artist, Brancusi. It's funny, the "famous" tombs are quite plain whereas the more elaborate tombs are for people I've never heard of. One with the lions, it's for the "Prince of Archery" I couldn't read the name for all the moss in the way.

Bought some groceries and had a quiet night in, chatting on MSN with Camille.....sorry about that sweetie!
