I went to Notre Dame this morning. It was flooded with school children. I got some really awesome pictures of it though. The inside is so amazing and I really loved all the stained glass that it had.
Our professor took us on an architecture tour through the Louvre plaza and then to the Arc De Triomphe. I went to the top of the Arc and got a great view of the city.
After the Arc we got on the metro and rode to the new portion of Paris. The buildings are all new and really nice, but I didn't like it as much as the rest of Paris. I enjoy the smaller streets and lack of skyscrapers better. Paris just seems more like a city to have older styled buildings.
We needed to take another trip to the Eiffel Tower of course. We didn't even go to the top yesterday. I really wanted to go to the top, but I was quite scared to be going so high up on a structure that was meant to be temporary. On the elevator I the top I didn't even dare look out the window. Once I got to the very top though, I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. The very top of the Eiffel Tower has two floors, one enclose and the other open. I went to the open one for a bit to take some pictures, but I didn't stay there long.
When we got back to solid ground, we went to have some dinner at a little cafe and then headed back to our hotel.
Currently I am sitting at the only source of free wifi we have found in Paris, McDonald's. At least they have tasty McFlurrys!

| We crossed a bridge covered in locks with couples' names on them. Apparently they throw the keys in the river |
