Bonjour et bienvenue à mon blog! I started this blog as a way of sharing my experiences in Paris when I interned there during the Summer of 2006. Since then it has become a forum for all things awesome in the lives of my little family and I. Enjoy!

Notre Dame from the right bank
Here's some more of my cathedral. Did you know that the square in front of Notre Dame is "zero kilometer" for all of France? All maps are measured from there to the borders. Just like that pole in front of Brother Brigham in Salt Lake City. From the still unfinished steps of Notre Dame, Heraclius of Caesaria called for the beginning of the third crusade in 1185. Also, Napolean Bonaparte was crowned the Emporer here on December 2nd 1804. That's a pretty neat place, eh?
