For once, John blogs again! Wini has been doing this single-handedly, so I had to come back and pull my weight a bit. Today we did one of the awesome things that you can only do in Europe -- we took a train to another country for the day. Specifically we went from Paris to London to meet David (that's Coobe Paine to all you Second Lifers out there). Despite some issues around me misreading the tickets and missing the traine we should have been on it all went smo...

Headed to Notre Dame around 9:30am. Walked into the Notre Dame, a lot of stained glasses window which so colorful and bright. We remained quiet like the sign said.

Lots of Dali sketches and drawings, which is a completely different experience than the one at London. A lot of street artists outside that area bug you for drawing sketch of you...

wini: We took a 1 night 1 day trip to Le Mont-Saint-Michel. It is one of the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. During the bus ride, we saw a french double rainbow, I was full of joy. We arrived just after sunset, took the first night shot of the lighted Le Mont-Saint-Michel, it was magical hour as well, beautiful like a castle from fairytale. Walked a little toward the mountain, settled at the La Mere Poulard hotel located at the entrance of the mountain...
