Day 1 - Notre Dame
continuted walk, saw les halles in the night - the whole area seemed very nice/upscale. rather trendy. companions wanted to leave after seeing the center (it really was quite a long walk) but i saw the notre dame towers and wanted to keep going, and they kept me company. i am kind of glad i got them to go, the brother was some sort of stone-cutter and was tres impressed. as would anyone, but he had a cool connection to it. Right before Notre Dame (before the river) was what we thought must have been a palace, but really it was the Hotel De Ville. HUGE, elaborate, many many windows, decorations, large square in front with ice skating, something I should do sometime. Notre Dame was gorgeous, we just missed closing hour but i'll see it another time, not with that type of company. got some cool shots of the moon in between the spires. weird that it was clear then, haven't seen the sun yet (3rd day).Got off of the Ile de la Cite, admired a little of st. germain-du-prez looking for the metro to take us to the eiffel tower.
