Gasping For Air, Striving For Attention, Wanting To Be Remembered

Today was another excellent day. Once again I woke up quite late and headed into Paris a little passed noon. I visited le Cimétière Père Lachaise first. The weather fit the scene perfectly: greyish skies over thousands of beautifully crafted tombs and miniature crypts. Some would believe that the tour would be somewhat drap but on the contrary, the experience was extremely positive. The cemetery has a lot to offer from a photographic point of view so I was as excited as a kid in a candy store; Père Lachaise’s monuments are beautiful and make for great subjects. Leaving the cemetery, I had an ephiphany (not that grandiose)… my obsessions with journal entries and with photography are very much common to the monuments and graves I had before my eyes. We, as humans, all strive to be remembered for what we’ve accomplished through our work, our friends and family and through our own little legacy.

After Père Lachaise I met up with Nadia, my always radiant friend from Linköping. Upon meeting, we both reacted the same way: it was so strange to be together in Paris. Trouver l’erreur? Le petit Gaspésien au centre de Paris biensur! Nadia guided me through some beautiful corners of Paris that I would have overlooked due to the fact that we tourists, in general, tend to focus on the classic attractions rather than the little things that make a city so charming and enjoyable. It was great to see neighbourhoods that were less accostomed to receiving visitors such as myself. We started at Père Lachaise and went down to Place de la Bastille. Afterwards we walked to Gare de Lyon, followed by Bercy and then across the Seine to the Grande Bibliothèque National which happens to be extremely huge. We then went northwards passed la Gare d’Austerlitz to the Mosquée de Paris and afterwards to the Jardins des Plantes which I had been to the day before without having seeing it’s best parts. Le Jardins des Plantes is really beautiful; I plan on going back tomorrow to discover the zoo and the rest of the parc that I didn’t get to see. From there, southwards into the 13e arrondissement. It is at Place d’Italie that we made our ways back home. Nadia was really great… all afternoon she put up with my stupid questions and steered me through some cute little streets and booming commercial centers that I would have never seen without her guidance. Thanks so much for everything Nadia, I really enjoyed my time spent with you in Paris; t’es la meilleure!

Knowing that the last busses to get to Loic’s from the Sucy RER station departed at 21h00, I made haste to get my ass into the suburbs of Paris. On arrival, I saw the last bus leave the station without me on it. Now here’s the catch. I don’t have Loïc’s address, I have no calling card or credit card, no cell phone, no map of the town… I was pretty much up shit creek without a paddle. I had my PSP… but seems that Paris subarbians are quite informed about the dangers of having a non-secure wireless internet connection at home. Damn you Wanadoo! Somehow… I made my way back to Loïc’s place in one piece. What helped the most: Loïc’s pointing out of Sucy’s landmarks.

Hooray for surviving Paris!
