Today was our last day in Paris and even though I had a great time I was excited to move on and see Spain. We started the day at Norte Dame.
We made it a point to not go inside yesterday because we knew we would be back today, but this also gave a slight advantage to head to the Latin Quarter since we didn’t need to take so many outside pictures. ;) Once again I had already been inside and instead of dealing with crowds I decided to go look around while Brian and the crew at a look inside. When Brain was done e and I headed to the Latin Quarter where we saw a Banksy,
souvenir shopped, saw more of the cool mosaic art that is around town and ate the BEST CREPES EVER!!! (lime and sugar who would have thought?)
After Norte Dame we all headed to the Centre Pompidou. 
It was this crazy building that was designed inside out. It is some sort of museum, but the whole building is crazy. WE grabbed some food, sat down and ate, we walked around a bit and grabbed some coffee. It was a nice little break.
We then headed to Père Lachaise cemetery. This is to the graves of Jim Morrison,
Oscar Wilde, 
Chopin, Edith Piaf, Sarah Bernard, Marcel Proust, Colette, Maria Callas, Modigliani and the famous lover/seducer Casanova. It was breath-taking and haunting. The tombs, vaults, and sculptures were all so amazing. It was a great way to end our stay in Paris.
From here we went back to the hotel, grabbed our luggage, grabbed some snacks from a local grocery store and proceeded on toward the train station where we waited for the train we would spend the next 14 hours of our lives on. 
At the train station Brian and I enjoyed some coffee and tiramisu,
and everyone ate a boxed dinner consisting of a pesto pasta and a doughnut. Brian and I shared a couchette with Denise and Shani, and even thought it had its awkward moments it wasn’t too bad. We watched a movie on the netbook, enjoyed some French cheeses and snacks, read a little and attempted to get a good eight hours of sleep.
