Finally, I went to visit Pere Lechaise. Most cemeteries in France have famous people buried in them, but this one tops them all. The French playwright Moliere, Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, and Richard Wright are all buried here. But they are just minor names compared to their tombstone neighbor. James Morrison, the lead singer of the Doors, is buried here as well! I visited his grave, and then went to my hotel.
France was pretty amazing. I don't know where to go from here though. I am thinking of London, England. Better rest up. But first..... Let's check up on my sister dearest.
My email to Ashleigh:
Hello sis. Just wanted to let you know that today I visited JIM MORRISON'S grave. Beat that. Now I can finally say that I met someone famous- just not necessarily alive. Email me back and tell me about your trip.
Are Voir,
Maddie
What Ashleigh wrote back:
Hello Maddie. My trip is going more wonderful than yours, just to let you know. I have not been to any cemeteries, and still ran into a celebrity. An alive one. And one of your favorite singers when you were younger too. I ran into Taylor Swift as I left Tennessee! I forgot to tell you in my last email. Sorry!
Your sis, the grand explorer.
Well, what nerve! I'd show her...
