PARIS DAY FOUR!

To begin our day we got up early to go discover one of Paris's biggest and most famous cemeteries 'Pere Lechaise'. A cemetery may be a weird place to visit but many famous people have been burried here and it was a really cool thing to go see and one of the highlights of our trip. We had great conversation and challenged each other to find specific tombs. It was a very cool morning. It was also our first day of rain. Just a bit of slight rain in the morning and it actually added to the experience of being in the cemetery, was kind of appropriate that it rained.
We came home got changed and then went for a day of visiting the shop. At the Champs Elysees we purchased a limited edition Takashi Murakami (Japanese artist) & Marc Jacobs (designer) Louis Vuitton book entitled 'Louis Vuitton Fashion Art Architecture'. My collection of fashion books is fast growing and this peice is a collectors edition that will be worth lots of money one day! Look how cool Ben looks carrying the Vuitton shopping bag :)
We went to the Dior headquarters on Avenue Montaigne where I refrained from purchasing anything because I'm being a goodboy are you all proud of me??? hehe this is the Dior store Carrie Bradshaw visits in the last episode of season 6 Sex & the City, thankfully I didnt fall :)
That night we decided it was finally time to go visit the Eiffel Tower. It truly is amazing, the minute I see it , it makes me smile. We decided as it was drawing nightfall , to take the lift up and we'd climb it another day. The view was incredible and being there with Ben was truly amazing.
