Thursday started with the George Pompideau museum. Modern art.
Kandinsky, Rothko, Warhol.
As for the rest.........
That's all I have to see about that.
A deportation site of French Jews during WWII. A stone for every French Jew sent to concentration camps from this spot on the Seine river. It was sobering.
The #1 cathedral in Europe that I wanted to see: Saint Chapelle.
GOOGLE IMAGE IT RIGHT THIS SECOND.
Done? K good because my pictures can't do it justice. It was ethereal. That's the only word I can use to describe it. It was everything I had hoped for and more; I only wish I could spend 100 years in there.
Quick stop for a Nutella crepe.
AAaaaaand then back to Notre Dame, this time to ascend the bell tower. It was a lot a lot of spiral stairs, but worth it. So worth it.
Ummm.....Quasimodo moment? (By the way, Quasi was a real person! Just not the person Disney depicted. Gahh I want to share everything I've learned about everything.)
We were up there for an hour and a half, looking at the view and talking about life.
I'm so excited for the friends I'm making here.
Final Thursday stop: going atop the Arc de Triumph. So many spiral stairs.
I'll have a hot booty by the end of this stay.
