back on the rock....

well...we're back. and i'm happy to report that the leaves are starting to come out onto the trees here so it's not quite as dismal as when i left.
paris was FANTASTIC. words can't describe how great that city is. we had a blast and i can't wait to go back. i don't have time for a big blog entry right now (i have to study, surprise, surprise!) but here are a few pics to tide you over.....

me, attempting to look suitably impressed but not totally gob-smacked.

notre dame - flying buttresses and rose window galore.

walking by the louvre....i'm holding my hands to keep from
flapping them about in fits of excitement.

much art was seen and many sculptures photographed...
i really am a lover of stone and bronze...

at a cafe after walking up to sacre coeur and strolling
around montmartre in the grey drizzle.
mine is, of course, the wine.
