Montparnasse's also has its fair share of famous names and noticeable headstones (Baudelaire, Simone de Beauvoir, Serge Gainsbourg, Man Ray... off the top of my head), though most aren't as trendy or internationally renowned as Père Lachaise's famous residents.

I apologise for not gettng back to you sooner. All have been entertaining; one that stay in the memory have been the mass of people gatherered round the Mona Lisa cutting out all hope of ever viewing Leonardo's masterpiece. Been there, done that!!! I was also quite amused by you guys arriving in Ireland. The great problem of writing non-fiction is that if you tell the truth it sounds like fiction and no-one believes you. Do keep the blogs coming. They amuse and inform both of us. Love Chester & Anne PS The building works are slowly coming to an end; if you ever come back to Farnham we'll be able to offer you a bedroom with em-suite bathroom and a warm welcome.

I managed to open your site without using a proxy today. Great site, great photos and great articles. I'm very jealous of what you are doing - always wanted to do the same kind of traveling - slowly brewing and sipping (like appreciating some Chinese tea)... The photographs of Oxford reminded me the trip there 2 years ago. I have the same image of "Schola of Metaphysicae" taken as you did - funny. Jiayou ("Go,Go,Go"in Chinese). I'll follow your trip in the cyberworld. Cheers, Sabrina Hi guys,
