Last Day in Paris

today we spent our last day in paris in the latin quarter.

we first went to the panthèon (of paris that is) and saw foucault's pendulum, which proves the rotation of the earth, and then visited the crypt below which houses the tombs of louies braille, victor hugo, jean jaures, jean-jacques rousseau, voltaire, andrew dumas, marie curie, and lots, lots more.

afterward, we walked the length of rue mouffetard, a pedestrian friendly street with tons of little shops and cafes. we had lunch at a creperie and then walked to the jardin luxembourg.

this very large park has garden areas as well as a natural history museum, a geological rock museum, and a cute little zoo.

we went to the zoo and for only 5€ had an afternoon of fun along with a gigantic cotton candy to boot! : )
