Today Udara & I explored the Metro stop St Michel. We saw the St Michel Fountain & Notre Dame. Notre Dame is just as amazing the second time. The vaulted celings make the church feel very open. Last time I visited Paris we walked through the church but this time Udara & I did a little more. We visited the treasury & walked to the top of the bell tower. The belllllls!

This year is the 850th anniversary of Notre Dame so they are in the process of restoring the organ and some of the bells (so we had a cool view of the top but we didn't walk into the bell tower just on top). In the front of Notre Dame were some bleachers, another part of the 850th celebration. We got lots of awesome pictures, the 5.5 euros to go to the top was definitely worth it (especially because entrance to the church is free)

Favorite picture of the day!

Climbing the stairs of Notre Dame/coming back down was a little nerve wracking. The stairs are spiral-never-ending-get smaller as you climb up. Dizzy but still worth it and an interesting experience nonetheless.

After we got crêpes and ate them in a nearby park...where Udara fell asleep after she ate hers. Cute...asleep on a park bench.
Does the name Quasimodo ring a bell?
