The Louvre part two, and some churches

We went back to the Louvre for another visit. Please visit here if you’d like to see all of our pictures from our two visits.

We took taxis to Saint Chappelle. Arielle was really wanted to come here because she had just studied it in school.

Saint Chappelle


The chapel above has stained glass walls. It was unbelievable. The pictures don’t do it justice.

Inside the chapel


We walked over to Notre Dame and walked through the inside. Unfortunately, our camera battery died right before we walked in, so we don’t have any pictures on the inside. We arrived at the perfect time. A service was about to begin and the group of priests marched in a procession through the parted crowd. One of them began a hymn that filled the entire church. The whole thing moved me to tears, a first for me. Before we left, I lit a candle for Doug’s mom.

Then, we took a taxi to the Eiffel Tower where Doug kissed me dead center underneath it. I wish we had pictures.

We hopped in a taxi to get back to the hotel, grab our bags and catch the Eurostar train back to London. At least the ear popping wasn’t as bad this time.
