Hello all! This is Abby (hence my use of the word "Mommy" in the title of this post). Today, while my dad was out at IKEA, checking out some furniture, my mom and I took a three-hour-long walk that included the Luxembourg Gardens, Notre Dame, and Saint Chappel.
We didn't get to see all of the Gardens- that would've taken days- but we did see a bit, and they are lovely. There was a really good band playing in a large gazebo that was a pleasure to listen to. For kids, there was a large play area; not to mention basketball courts, pony rides, and food. Ah, food, how I loveth thee.
My mom and I only saw the outside of Notre Dame, because the line was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long (even longer than "way" there!). But we got a great view of the outside, and we got to hear the bells chiming at the hour. It was beautiful.
The Saint Chappel is the most gorgeous place I've ever been to in my entire life. Maybe that's just because I'm in love with stained glass, but whatever the reason, I was struck dumb when I saw it. It's impossible to describe the stained glass window panes with words, so I'm not even going to try. The statues and paintings were fabulously intricate, too.
Well, that's about it! I took a lot of pictures- they're in the post titled "August 1st Pictures"- so I hope you like them! Here's a guide to what pictures are where:
1. The pictures from the potato chips to the pond were taken in Luzembourg Gardens; 2. The giant church and the (suckish) picture after it are of Notre Dame; and 3. All the rest are of Saint Chappel.
Hope that helps, and that you like our pictures!
Au revoir, mes amis,
Abby
