We had a huge checklist of places we wanted to visit in Paris with not nearly enough time, but we were able to manage to check Notre Dame, Pere Lachaise and the Louvre off the list.
Notre Dame was lovely, and its size was quite massive. It was probably not my favorite church that we visited in Europe (my favorites were St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican- of course and St. George's church in Prague, which was simply more ornate and beautiful than words could describe), but Notre Dame was definitely impressive. Saw Notre Dame - check!

We also went to see a bunch of dead famous people at the Pere Lachaise cemetery. Saw Jim Morrison's grave - check! The cemetery was very cool to see some of the ornate tombstones and monuments throughout as I feel that it is very different than how cemeteries are in the US. In the spirit of Halloween, here are some pics of tombstones/monuments. Enjoy:

And for the grand finale, we were able to spend an entire and I really mean entire day at the Louvre museum. After hours and being utterly exhausted, we were able to see the entire museum. Saw the Mona Lisa - check! (BTW - underwhelmed by the Mona Lisa - plus I had to fight to the death to get to the front of the crowd just to see it and meh)
