Qu'est-ce que vous fait? Semana Santa pt. 2

Ready for some pictures??? Good, because there's a few in this post. Anyways, after the fun-filled night, John, Aaron, and I went out to sight-see around Paris. Now, this post only goes over part of that day, but check out some of the places and stuff you've always heard about (or not) but have never been to. I'm not sure where or what exactly this first building is, but it's got cool architecture and its probably a government building.



We look pretty small compared to this building

Okay, next stop: Notre Dame, the cathedral Victor Hugo was thinking abobut when he created the Hunchback Quasimodo. By the way, that's a really vulgar and sadistic story, but a classic. Anyways, here's a good look at the front.


And the line of tourists to get inside was thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis long.

Want a side view? Here ya go.


Notre Dame has very nice buttresses, and it was just white-washed!

Here's a nice statue of Charlemagne, "The Father of Europe." And by Europe, we of course only mean Western Europe.


Okay, so after gawking and taking pictures like nice tourists, we moved onward to Palais de Justice on the Ile de la Cité.

Look at all that gold. Europeans and their gold-plated buildings.

And here's a view over River Seine:


Note: on the sides of these streets are little shops where you can buy flowers, pets, waffles, or comic books.

And here's a nice obelisk-thingy with an angel on it. Of course, the angel is plated in gold.

Anyways, that does it for this post, because the next post is about the Louvre (oooh!).
