Passing of time and sleep definitely was starting to get us
back on track. Although we still slept in today, it was only till 8:30am. I got
up right away, took a shower and started to try and replay the events of the
past two days and put them to paper. Mama slept in a little longer until around
9:30am. Once she was dressed, we both headed downstairs and had the buffet here
at the Saint James. Not too shabby!
After breakfast, we headed out of the hotel and walked along
the Rue de Rivoli. That is also the street the Louvre is located on and headed
across the river once we pasted the museum. Notre Dame is located on a small
island in the middle of the Seine River. You would notice that or even think
you were unless you looked at a map.
We spent about an hour in the church and lit a candle for
Oma, Tommy and Alexandra.
The architecture in this building is astonishing when you
think the main part was built in 1360. We did notice however that most of the
outside spires, gargoyles, figures, statues and wall ornaments were very worn
to severely damaged. One would expect that given the time period and the brutal
strength of Mother Nature.
We walked around the entire church and grounds and headed to
grab a little bite to eat.
