Walking tour of Paris

Well this one is for Elisa. I took a VERY long walk through Paris to enjoy the sites, but mostly to go to the Louvre and Notre Dame Cathedral. I don't know how far it was, but it must have been like 3 miles each way. Then I hiked to the top of the south tower of Notre Dame. Finally, I ate dinner at a restaurant overlooking Notre Dame. Wish Elisa were there for that.

Here I am in front of the Louvre.

And Notre Dame.

The gargoyles...

The dome of the north tower of Notre Dame.

No explanation needed... You can almost imagine Quasimodo, from Victor Hugo's novel, swinging from the gargoyles up there.
