| At Notre Dame, Kyle told us
to buy 2 Euro postcards from this one-legged man. Joked,
"Let's move the bus up a little for him to walk a little
more to catch up to us." |
|
 |
Saw Point Zero, where
if you put your right foot in, you’ll be back. This is the point
at which distances to Paris are measured.
|
| Roommate Dale and I at Notre
Dame.
Back on bus, monotonous guide gave us
facts and figures. It was true about those teeth. She was
boring compared to Kyle's tour. |
|
|
Stopped by to see Napolean's
tomb, a box within a box. It was cool to cough and hear it
echo throughout the building.
|
This was the first place we used our
museum pass, a very great deal for 15 Euros,
considering we used the pass at many places.
|
| Went up the spiral stairs to
the top of the Arc de Triomphe. |
|
 |
Took the special, secret VIP
entrance to the Louvre, skipped the long lines, and walked through its many halls.
Saw the Mona Lisa, Winged
Victory of Samthrace, Dying Slave, and Code of Hamurrabi.
|
| Went to Musee D'Orsay, which
used to be a train station.
Saw Van Gogh's paintings and
"Whistler's Mother." Steph was unimpressed with
"the crap."
We paid over 32 Euros for 9 small
bottles of water at a cafe, afterward.
|
|
 |
Went to the Conciergerie, an
old prison. |
| Saw the Pompidou, with its
internal piping on the outside of the building.
Contiki cough also works well on the
French train during traffic hour to keep away those armpits.
