More Day 1

We wandered down the road beside the Seine, I can't really tell you the name of the road...not because I don't know it, but because it changes every few blocks. Eventually we came to one of the bridges that cross over to the small island called Ile de la Cite, which is where Notre Dame is located. It was a beautiful day, although very chilly, and the church looked phenomenal against the blue sky. You can't really tell how huge it is by the picture, the interior alone is about 1,200 feet long, and the church can hold 6,000 people. The stained glass windows are also just breathtaking. We wandered around inside and then decided to have a cup of hot chocolate at a little cafe across the street. When we realized that a small paper cup TO GO was about $6.00, we decided that we didn't really need it that badly. Abby had some, being a child and all, and I whined a little bit, but neither Chad nor Nicole would buy me any...We then walked behind the church where there is a small park and you can view the flying buttresses that are so famous.
