Well, I finally did it! After mentioning it several times over the near ten year life of Peaceful Rampage, I can now happily say that I have been to Paris and visited Jim Morrison’s grave. This was something that I have always wanted to do over the past thirty-six years I have been living in Europe. However, due to that thing called life, I hadn’t been able to do so, although I did plan to go for my 60th birthday but Covid had other ideas. Here’s some more pictures.

With my objective completed, I left the rest of the weekend up to my daughter and her partner. After visiting Jim’s grave, we visited the grave of Oscar Wilde, who is buried at another part of the cemetery. In fact, the weekend has given me ideas for posts over the next few weeks. I had a great weekend, spending it with Rowena and Eline.
On the Friday evening, while watching the news, there was a report on French TV about a boy who committed suicide due to homophobic bullying. For me, it was a rude awakening, reminding me that bullying knows no national borders.

At first, I didn’t think I could relate my trip to “He Was Weird.” The only mention of it is when French media reports on the shooting. God, was I wrong!
