Montargis!

Yesterday Val and I went on a true adventure. We got on the train and went in the opposite direction of Paris. We got off on the last stop and just waled around the town. You wanna know what we found? A town that Joan of Arc travelled through. WHAT! HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? Literally, we walked through history. Montargis has the most canals in France, apparently its called the Venice of France and it has a spectacular primary growth forest, with a track in the middle of it. I found a track in the middle of a forest. Only in France.

Joan of Arc was here in 1419

Today Val and I spent the day at Pere Lachaise (cemetary) in constant awe of the tombs. Some of them are small houses. The cemetary is so beautiful, its impossible to feel sad when one is surrounded by that much beautiy. If you took the graves away it would still be a gorgeous garden.
