September 30, Pere Lachaise

I received cette carte postale in the mail today from France. My friend/fellow SMCM art major/awesome designer Melissa Dean was living there for several months, and I assigned her to visit Pere Lachaise Cemetery as part of her Vicarious Experience Project (check it out here and here). While many famous people are buried in this old cemetery (Frederic Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, Delacroix, Max Ernst), Jim Morrison may be the most famous "resident," which is why he pops up on the card.
