Getting closer. After visiting
the church we walked some of the area around the church. Two artists
found us and asked if we wanted out portraits done. We bargained
the price down a bite, then let them have at it.

At the base of the church there is
this fountain. I found it interesting that the fountain had mermen,
I would not have expected this at a church.

At Peré Lachaise, a well know
cemetery, there is this tomb. The story says that two lovers that
could not be together in life on this planet, are buried together here.

Look at all the work that was put
in to decorating this place! Everything, just about, is trimmed with
the color gold. That probably has something to do with the kings
sign being the sun.

This globe is found in the room above.

There are dolphins at the base because the king's oldest son's symbol was
the dolphin.
