Today we ended up at the Pantheon, resting place of many prominent French figures and former church. We were trying to go to Pont des Arts again to leave a lock on the fence, but went the wrong way and ended up at the Pantheon. The high arches, intricate carvings, statues, and paintings are seen on the celing and walls. High windows bring the light into the main building and illuminate the carved figures. Once in the crypt we walked by the tombs of people such as Rousseau, Voltaire, Braille, Marie Curie & Victor Hugo.

We went out tonight to meet with a friend of Udara's from school...missed the memo that it was supposed to rain tonight. So we were trying to figure out which way to go down the streets, in the pouring rain...all part of the adventure, gotta get lost sometimes. Even if when you ask directions you are standing right in front of the street sign you are looking for....Direction challenge problems....this is why we don't make plans!
