Wow

What a day! We started with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower with the sun going up behind it. Then we went to Montmartre and saw the Sacred Heart Church that is on top of the hill. Beautiful church and gorgeous view. Lots of little shops around and of course all the artists from Plaza Tertre. We even had an artist draw a Cubist picture of the 2 of us. We ate at a cafe in the area and walked down the hill and saw Moulin Rouge. From there we went back downtown to Lafayette so Cristiana could buy something for Fabiana. We the went to another cafe where she got me some champagne since apparently one cannot leave France without trying some real good champagne. It was great to see her again and be able to catch up. Also, she is a great tour guide... We learned a lot from her... We said our goodbyes and Ben and I went to Notre Dame and went inside this time, what a beautiful and awe striking place to see. Totally worth the wait. We walked around the Latin Quarter and also saw Le Sorbonne.... Everything g is so different and beautiful, we are enjoying it a lot. For our last night in Paris we went to a Belgium Bar to see our hostess, Katia singing. It was a lot of fun, I tried some traditional Belgium food and believe it or not, Belgium beer which came in a little boot and I convinced the bartender to let me keep it... Perfect souvenir!!! This was a great experience, especially to stay with a typical French family... Love everything! Sunday is our last day in Paris so I will write again. From London...
