On Thursday night I took the train over to Paris. My good friend JoDee from AZ came all the way to Paris for work. I decided to join here. I hadn't seen her in 3 years (??) so it was great to see her. Friday I slept in, had a leisurely lunch at a cafe and then visited the Musee D'Orsay. I was able to see orginal works of art from Degas, Monet, Manet.....all incredible. I met up with JoDee at Notre Dame that evening. Poor girl had a run in with a nasty French cab driver. He screamed at her for not speaking french as well as not having cash. We had dinner and then stayed up until 3am chatting away.
Saturday I braved the snow and visited Sacre Coeur. It was beautiful! It is a Roman Catholic basilica which is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The basilica is at the summit of the butte Montmartre, the highest point in the city. The views are amazing as is the interior of the church. There is so much mosaic tile work all in blue and gold which is breathtaking. Unfortunately, they don't allow photos in the church. After Sacre Coeur, I took the train home. Another lovely visit to Paris accomplished.
