Catacombs - Pantheon

We went to the catacombs today.  Half of it was not very good.  We had to stand in line for 2 hours in the rain. We are looking at a wall of bones.  I know that it is creepy, but that is what we saw.

While we were there, we saw some gravestones in the bones. All of these bones are from the 1800's and the 1700's.  They came from plague. It is a very deadly disease, the rats carried around. 

We went to the Pantheon after the catacombs.  Not the one in Rome, the one in Paris.  We got to climb up the dome.  It was very creepy. 

I am standing in front of Paris.  At the top of the Pantheon.

When we were inside the Pantheon, still on the top, we saw this.  It is very beautiful.


While we were at the top, we found a place to sit.

When we were going down, we walked through this dome shaped tunnel.  It was very dark, the only light was the lights and the sun spots.
