Today was a major difference from yesterday...in a good way. For starters, it didn't rain that much, at least not when we were outside. Second, we had no schedule!!! Third, we saw so many monuments!
OK, we saw three, two up close. But still...
After getting stuck in the metro by the police because we didn't have pictures on our metro passes (which is a requirement and can be punished by a twenty-five-euro fine that we didn't have to pay...), we made our way down to the monument, probably known by just about everybody from the Disney movie: Notre Dame.
Let me just say it was a far-cry from the movie.
It was incredible! It was full of amazing architecture, gorgeous stain-glass windows, authentic "monk music" from a stereo, and breath-taking sculptures and gargoyles.
Did I mention there are also four-hundred steps to get to the top...that we climbed?
Anyway, I have to get back to the hostel before the metro closes. I'll finish up tomorrow. Oh, by the way, the other monument we saw was the Eiffel Tower, and we're going up in it on Saturday...I think...
