So, today Mouhammed* and I went to the Catacombes of Paris! Eiks! It was incredible!!
About 100 years ago there was a terrible disease sweeping Paris cemetaries...so the president moved all of the bones out of the cemetaries and into the Catacombes...which are pretty much under about half the city!
Well..for a student discount of 2.50 euros...you can explore the labyrinth of the Catacombes!
They were huge!!!! Tunnels and rows and more tunnels and more rows of bones!!! It was so weird!
And, surprisingly, it was really clean!
Well...I just wanted to give a quick update before I leave in about 20 minutes for Vienna and Prague!!
Gros Bisous!
*Mouhammed is this funny guy from my International Economics class that I've kinda sorta been seeing here in Paris this semester! : )
