The breakfast was indeed scrumptious, and it was Eggs Benedict! Hollandaise sauce is what you're seeing on top of the eggs.

Glad you like the windows. They were amazing.

Do you mean Notre Dame? I believe that some work has resumed there; we saw some new scaffolding on it today.

Glad you like my photos! Now, you'll just have to go to see all of them for yourself! Paris is so beautiful.

Save your money for your own trip! Paris is definitely worth it.

I think there will be more photos!

5 days in London, 5 days in Paris. I’m kicking myself now for not visiting the Notre Dame cathedral even though I was staying fairly close to it. 6th Arrondissement I think.

Had a nice time there but my fondest memory of Paris is picking up the morning paper and reading that Bill Clinton had won the election!

Stained glass window photos are very difficult to take.

I was in Paris a few weeks ago. I'd go back and visit again in a heartbeat!

Enjoy the rest of your stay!

They are difficult, but I did have help from my photoshop knock-off program. Only a few didn't need it.

Make sure you're in shape! The walking can be brutal.

Food every day: little meat shop, little fruit and vegetable shop, little grocery shop. Little bakery. I promised myself I would shop for food every day back home in Ottawa. But it did not work. Nothing is as fresh as Paris food shops. Not even close. Enjoy.

My favorite chocolate shop in Paris is Maison Du Chocolat (also two in Manhattan). Love, love the view from the steps of Sacre Couer. Also, hearing the nuns sing at Sacre Couer is beautiful...I do t remember what time that takes place. Enjoy!!!!
