We have just been to Notre Dame, a giant church that took 171 years to build. The cathedral was begun in 1163 and completed in 1334, making it nearly 800 years old since it was finished. There was lots of stained glass and it was really high. Then I had a hot dog in a baguette roll covered in cheese - it was delicious. Dad had a baguette with tuna, egg, tomato and mayo. Then we walked west along the island where Notre Dame is and walked back across The Seine River on Le Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris begun in 1578. We walked past the Pompidou Centre and many, many more old buildings - and we will visit the Pompidou maybe tomorrow. About 3.00PM, we came back to our apartment to rest. I think I'll sleep well tonight because I'm really tired. It will be good not to sleep in a chair in a squished-up space like on the plane.
