No mean feat!<br /><br />I would think that the atmophere within the catacombs could be cut with a knife, Nick. Stifling and stuffy come to mind.<br /><br />Looking at the bodies, and their varying states of decomposition, I think that there is a lack of respect. In my opinion, a lack of respect. I would not want my body to be on view as I decompose. Tantamount to someone watching me on the toilet somehow.<br /><br />Having said that, I tried to go to the catacombs beneath Paris but when I came up out of the metro (it is near Montparnesse somewhere) the queue snaked around for ever, and I am not one for queueing if there are more than two of us.<br /><br />I suspect I will keep my cemetery visits above ground from here on in.<br /><br />I love the fact that the body is moved is the ker-ching! is interrupted. Nothing wrong with the Capuchins!<br /><br />Engrossing post.
