Last day

On our last morning in Paris, Lyndsay, Owen, Matt, Leah, Chelsea, and I visited the catacombs of Paris. It was a short 10-minute walk from the FIAP.



The catacombs are an underground ossuary, a receptacle for the bones of the dead.



We had to navigate dark, underground tunnels before we reached the bones.



It was kind of creepy, but definitely worth seeing.



Then, after lunch, we headed to what we thought was a science center. Look at the building, it's all techy-looking, isn't it? Well, we headed inside only to find out that it was a museum.



...A modern art museum. It was kind of a letdown, especially since we were all museum-ed out and were expecting a science center. But we made the most of it and walked around for awhile, before leaving to enjoy one last Paris crepe and take a peek into yet another church.
