Kept seeing these guys in matching outfits called "The Ice Guys. " Apparently, they are an Icelandic boy band.
You never know who you are going to run into.

A Recent Visit to the Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris
Another site in Paris which I had never before visited was the Père Lachaise cemetery.
This is the final resting place for many very famous people, including some generally beloved and well-regarded artists and musicians. Not all of them are French.
Just off the top of my head, these include (but are not limited to) Frederic Chopin, Edith Piaf, and perhaps most famously these days, Jim Morrison of the rock band The Doors.
I looked for the final resting place of George Moustaki, another famous French musician. In fact, I searched all over the area where his grave is supposed to be found. But after searching and searching, I simply had to give up.
Nonetheless, I am happy with my visit.
Having arrived in Paris just in time for a massive heatwave, being in the refreshing cool of the shade provided by trees in the cemetery was very nice. It provided quite a respite from the often excessive and relentless heat.
Obviously, I took some pictures. It seemed like a good idea to share some of them here.
Take a look.
Enjoy.
