The rest of Paris

Although I did not want to leave the Louvre, I felt that I couldn't call it a proper trip to Paris without seeing some of the other sights!  So I forced myself to leave, bought a ticket for the Batobus (which is a boat that runs a loop up and down the river Siene) and hit up Notre Dame Cathedral, the Champs Elysses, Arc de Triomphe, and Eiffel Tower.  I was WORN OUT by the end of the day but I faithfully executed my tourist duties.  :-)

First stop was Notre Dame cathedral, which looked like this from the Siene.  Once I got off the boat and approached ND, I heard some music and saw a big crowd gathered to watch these guys break-dancing.  Inside the cathedral was very dark, very Gothic, and very Catholic.  The stained glass windows were beautiful and these photos don't do them justice. 

After the crowds at ND I wandered around the famous Latin Quarter for a bit.  The most fragrant and lovely scent drew me into this garden - the roses were so amazing and I could smell them from the street!  Mom, you would have loved it!  It instantly reminded me of you and Goggi.  I was inspired to grab another crepe with Nutella so that I had an excuse to sit in the little park and enjoy. Here are a few more pics of some of the sights I saw....
