Saw a beautiful parrot waiting for the train to start.

Tram

I took the tram up the enormous hill to Sacre Coeur.

Stained Graphic Artists

It occurred to me as I viewed the works of stained glass inside Sacre Coeur that the artists that created these masterpieces were really one of the first graphic novelists of the world. Each piece tells a story of its own.

Sacre Coeur

The Sacre Coeur is the most beautiful church I've ever seen. I think it is fitting that it sits high atop Paris in its rightful place to remind us to look upwards. I found my favorite spot behind the basilica in a park with its own waterfall. From the shade of the trees, the sound of the water rushing out and a cool breeze wafting over me as I sit on a well placed bench it is very much a peaceful sanctuary. As time passes and future trips to this glorious city unfold it may well turn out to be my favorite spot in Paris. For now, it already is.
