Hawks Have Landed in Paris - Visit Notre Dame

It was a long day on planes and trains. From Delta/Air France to riding the Paris Metro we have been on the go the entire day. Upon landing we met up with our guide Lisa Smith from London; checked into the hotel and then found the closest Metro stop for a ride into the center of Paris. The weather was beautiful. 61 degrees and sunny so we decided to visit Notre Dame and enjoy the amazing weather in this beautiful city. Everyone has been in good spirits and having some free time to explore the cathedral and take some pictures of the rose windows on the interior made the day worth all the effort. A quick dinner of noodles and some beef satiated our hungry crew and we then decided to walk to the town hall. Liberty, Fraternity and Equality are the words etched on the building thus reminding us of the ideals behind the French Revolution. In addition to some excellent ice cream we were able to soak up, along with many Parisians, the early Spring atmosphere. It was a great day of travel and everyone did a fantastic job. We are looking forward to sleep tonight and Versailles, the Louvre, and the Arch de Triumph tomorrow. We did not go to the d'Orsay today as our plane was a bit late and the weather report calls for rain on Saturday. A perfect opportunity to visit the museums. Paris Day One Photos
