Day 20

The rain has started up again and has made our walks a little more challenging. We went to Pere Lachaise, the famous cemetery, and learned about some of the people buried there. Also our professor bought 10 roses to leave at the cemetery's most deserving graves. Here's just a few of the highlights. 

This is the tomb of Abelard and Heloise. The couple from history's most passionate and true love story. 

 The classical composer Chopin

Jim Morrison 

Then we were free for the afternoon to explore Paris, but I went back and took a nap before our final dinner out together. . We went to Le Trumilou and had the whole restaurant reserved for our group. Throughout the program, each of us were supposed to upload 5 photos to a group flickr page that depicted daily life in Paris. Then the head of the travel abroad department picked her 2 favorite from each student to put in the Paris Travel abroad video that will play in the office. So we had a slide show at this dinner that showed which photos got chosen. It was a pretty neat way to end the trip.

 There was plenty of wine to go around!

I ordered the duck that came in a plume sauce that was to die for! I ended up pouring the rest of the sauce from the bowl on my fries...

 And for dessert we had chocolate cake, but it tasted more like a giant brownie. SO GOOD!

We called ourselves the kids table because we were separate from everyone else, but we still had a blast!
