Before you read: No pictures tonight, even though the text says there should be. I don’t know if you noticed, but yesterday’s post went up around midnight your time instead of the middle of the afternoon. That’s because I gave up fighting the website/iPad/internet at 1 am (our time) and went to sleep. I’m not really feeling up to that tonight. So when we get better internet I’ll let you know about pictures, but until then, use your imagination 😉

Edit: Pictures now up! You may have to tilt your head though.

So we didn’t actually go to the Louvre today. Apparently it’s closed on Tuesdays. Instead, we spent most of the day on other bus lines, just enjoying the beautiful city. Turns our that in the modern parts of Paris, there’s a stadium with grass-covered walls and a library made out of four skyscrapers.
But really the highlight of the day was the inside of the Notre Dame. It was truly spectacular. I’ll spare you the hundred-and-something photos I took in there (sorry architecture friends), but here’s a few.

I can’t say enough about how beautiful that cathedral is. Every inch is decorated with something old and amazing for the tools of the time — they started about 1200 AD and didn’t finish for a hundred and fifty years. As we were walking around, an all girl’s choir started singing and oh man the acoustics in that place. Plus their amazing voices. They really did sound like angels.

We did swing through a massive (two buildings, seven stories each) department store that was just full of every super expensive store ever. I won’t bore you with the names, but most of the items didn’t have price tags.

Here’s some pretty buildings from around Paris-

But we didn’t do quite so much today. Had a nice dinner out, but nobody got anything crazy. Tomorrow the Louvre!
