Today was not a work day for us here in Paris. For today and tomorrow Tracy and I stayed in Paris to be tourists. We started out by sleeping in just a little (by the way my body clock has zero idea what time it is now that I eat and sleep on a schedule my hormones have never seen before! We navigated the subway to the hop on/off buses with the open air deck and rode back to Notre Dame. There we visited the archaeological crypts of centuries of Paris buildings preserved as layers progressed over time.

We then hopped on the bus to the catacolmbs but were super disappointed to learn they were closed to visitors due to vandalism! Bastards!

Went to the Concierge where prisoners of the revolution were held before be-headed including Queen Marie Antoinette. Bought some tourist crap, ate tourist food (yum!) And went back to the Notre Dame in time for Sunday mass where we watched mass and communion. Talk about holy religion, batman! That place is amazing.

It just amazes me how much bloodshed in history is over religion. Wow.

Ended our night with a boat ride and dinner and I even held a fun conversation with a patient cabbie. All the french I took in school is coming back to me and it's actually useful.

Tomorrow's our last day here so we're cramming it all in ;) I'm ready to get back to my little family and it sounds like just in time: Anna threw the cat halfway down the stairs as Paul was on the phone with me! Luckily they bounce back.
