It's a world treasure, not just a national one. Its grace & beauty
surpassed its original purpose.

Rick, thanks for your comment--from a fellow traveler. Of course the photo is of Notre Dame. I found a hotel literally just across the intersection. I was shocked and saddened when it burned. They are rebuilding it, but there is no replacement for that forest of 13th century timbers. After I left I realized that the air I was breathing probably had a lot of lead in it. My wife and I are getting old, but would like to get in one last trip apiece to our favorite countries, Italy and Sweden. And I like France, too--and England, and Germany, and Austria, and Spain, and Portugal, and the Netherlands, etc. And I forgot countries I've been to in Africa and South America. I miss them all, except for Russia.
