Paris Part 2 (Notre Dame and Point Zero)

About that little detour that Alex and I took before entering Centre Pompidou. We had originally started wandering down the road in search of cheap food (which, aside from little sandwich shops, does not exist in any location that is even remotely tourist). During this time, we saw Notre Dame off in the near distance (near distance? Like the near future, only tangible I guess). Well, we figured, we've only got one day in Paris, why not go over there and take a picture?


Bam. Picture. And then I remembered the last time I was here and the cool thing that I did. There's a little marker right out front of the cathedral called Point Zero. This little round thing serves as a reference for all the mile markings on the roads in France. It's a popular tourist superstition that if you step on it when you come to Paris, you will come back later in your life. When I was here in 2005 with my high school's French club, I walked over it about ten times. Now this might just be superstition, but in my opinion...


...it works. And just for good measure...


...I'll be back.
