Third day in Paris!  Today we went for a car tour with our friends around Paris and learned a lot.  During the tour we stopped at Notre Dame.  We learned that at a point by the church there is a place called point zero which is the point where every thing else is measured from.  After that we got hot chocolate and continued the tour from which we learned that during the French Revolution Notre Dame was turned into a stable.  We continued the tour by going to the Louvre and seeing that the arc by the Louvre lined up with the Egyptian obelisk that was taken from Egypt by Napoleon, and the larger Arc de Triomphe.  Finally we went to the Rodin museum and then came back to our apartment.

  1. It seems that all of you are busy and having a great time. I hadn't known about the alignment of the monuments. Thanks for sharing that information.
