Paris Day 2 - Part 1

We needed an attitude adjustment after our disappointing arrival yesterday…. so we headed out to see some of the beauty of this really big city. We had an afternoon appointment at the Louvre and an evening Seine river dinner cruise, but couldn’t get a reservation to go in Notre Dame, which all of us wanted to do. At least we could see the outside… when we got there we discovered a line for people without reservations and ended up going inside in about 15 minutes… they let about 23,000 people inside this magnificent building every day for free, and it did not disappoint. It’s incredible to know about the damage that occurred from the fire 5 years ago, and then to see it in all its glory is amazing. That was the beginning of a nice day in Paris. The walk to Notre Dame took us by some other pretty amazing old buildings and the river Seine, which is also beautiful. Then we headed to our reservation at the Louvre.
