This is a picture of Notre Dame Cathedral from across the Seine. There are three front doors with carvings
around the edges. They have different themes. One was the apostles with Christ at the middle top. The inside was magnificent
with three rosette stained glass windows on the right, left and the one above the main entrance which you can see in the picture.
We went to Sunday mass there. It was a Gregorian Mass. They had a children's choir that sounded like angles singing.

Marie is standing on a typical street in Paris. But directly behind Marie is the hotel
we stayed in. We were on the second floor in a very nice room just to the left of the corner. You can see the rooms have double
doors floor to ceiling that you could open up. This area is called the Latin Quarter. It was called that because the universities
were there and the students spoke latin. The hotel was on the Blvd St Germaine. Marie is standing on Le Rue des
Bernadin.
