Europe 2000!!! - The Arrival in Paris

Yes I got to go to be in Europe for the 2000 Millennium celebration . . . And yes it was fantastic!!! So now, here, for the benefit of my students, curious surfers, friends and family, travel buffs, and/or anyone else who may at all be interested, is a section of my website dedicated entirely to this trip. The section contains many of the photos from my trip, as well as some narrative information about the particulars of that intense European winter. Throughout the site, are links and references galore, so explore and enjoy!!!!

I should also mention that this page of my website is part of a Travel Learning project that I am completing via Southern California's University of LaVerne.

I went with my lovely friend Danika Melisse Zafran. We were tired when we arrived at 8:00 in the morning Parisian time, which means that since we left a 9:00 in the morning San Francisco time, we were travelling for 14 hours straight!
American Airlines didn't even tell us that we had to switch planes in New York, and we were late out of San Francisco, so we barelymade the connecting flight.
When we finally did arrive, Paris was SOOOOOO cold! Notice how Dani is bundled up. She's also very tired. We're at a little caf� just across the street from Paris' famous N�tre Dame.

But before Paris, there was one funny thing at Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport. I liked the little French trash receptacles. They're just a box on the ground! Notice how I'm mimicking the icon on the trash thingy itself as I throw away my tissue. Man, can you imagine those here in the U.S.? They'd be disgusting! You'd just have a huge pile of trash on right on the ground!

This is Paris' famous N�tre Dame Cathedral. Home of Victor Hugo's Hunchback of N�tre Dame, amongst other distinctions. (Except that Hugo's book was just called, N�tre Dame de Paris, or Our Lady of Paris in English).Can you see Quasimodo up top there?

And here are some other great N�tre Dame sites

A demon devouring a human soul!!! This super site by the Jesuit Father Bucko, talks about, and gives lots of great pictures of the gargoyles and other grotesque monsters of N�tre Dame, and of other such old cathedrals.
This equally interesting site from Elizabeth A. Peterson of the University of Utah, is the best site I've found to show the interior of this great French Parisian monument.
