it was july 9 2008

we went back to notre dame today. this time we were determined to go inside. the inside of the cathedral is beautiful with stained glass windows. we then waited outside in line for a very long time to walk about 400 or so steps to the top. once you reach the top you can view the entire city from an outer ledge. it was a wonderful view of paris. we could see all along the seine to the eiffel tower and everything in between. we also got up-close to the gargoyles and saw the famous bell tower. the experience was really worth it. it was such a beautiful day which made it all the better.
