Paul vs. Paris

My good buddy Paul was in Paris this week and we had a blast. We did a couple of fun new things while he was here and did a lot of the great stuff we have seen that I have mentioned before in previous entries.

The coolest new thing we did was a visit to the Paris Catacombs. The short history behind this site was early in Paris' history, the groundwater flow through the graveyards caused massive disease in Paris.

To remedy this, the cemetaries were completely exhumed and the bones were stored in old rock quarries underneath the metro in downtown Paris. It is very tastefully organized but the size of the catacombs and the numbers of bones is amazing.

We rounded out the week in perfect Paul style by heading to a great bar where we met our friend Jasmine and drank until the wee hours of the morning. Now Paul is headed to Poland where he will meet up with our friend Mike from Copenhagen. They are going to join up in Poland and do some last minute touring around Europe before we all head home.

Here are a few choice photos...
