Day 4

Today was a wrap up day basically. The girls and I went to our last two BIG Must-See places, Notre Dame Cathedral and the TOP of the Eiffel Tower!

Notre Dame was indescribably beautiful, both on the outside

and on the inside! When we got to the cathedral we went straight to the line that would get us up to the top. It was only about a 45 min wait, but the waiting wasn't that bad because there were a few street performers that kept my attention for the better part of a half hour. Bethany even got a picture with what I like to refer to as the Rue Creeper (Rue is road in French). This very talented Gentleman was sporting a A

lbert Einstein like wig and would sneak up on

unsuspecting tourists mainly women and place his hand ever

so gently on there shoulder and wait for them to notice and..well squeal haha, HILARIOUS! The best was watching him push away the men in couples and holding the womans hand until she realized that the hand she was holding was not the one belonging to her significant other! Worked every time!

Once we got into the cathedral, we went straight to the top and saw the gargoyles,

saw the famous hunch back of Notre Dame bell, and a look at the Paris skyline that was breathtaking. Afterwards we went inside where I believe the beauty of this Cathedral may have made my heart skip a beat or two. The way the murals were so intricately painted as well as the detail in each and every sculpture and wood work, it made me speechless.

The greatest thing about the Cathedral was hearing the organs play. We made this trip at this time for a reason, at 4:30 on every sunday of the year, a organist plays

for anyone to hear. The sound added wit

h the physical beauty of the church made everything seem

so surreal.

Once we were done there we decided to see more of the city by walking to the Eiffel. Note to all whom read this: remember, just because you can see it in Paris DOESNT MEAN ITS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE especially if its the Eiffel Tower! haha I mean that was a long flippin walk! I think it was close to three or four miles or so. However, once we got

there and waited in line to get to the top, we were speechless at what lay before us, a view that stretch for miles. Every building lit up at night is just an amazing sight to see. It was definitely the cap to a beautiful stay in Paris.
