Busy sightseeing day in Paris

We started the day at our favorite museum, Musee d’Orsay. I got a cute picture of Jonathan and Li “lounging” and one of the beautiful clock on one side of the building overlooking the Seine. The building used to be a train station.

We then walked over to Conciergerie, the former palace of kings that was transformed into a prison and later held Queen Antoinette before she was tried and executed. On the way we took a few pictures along the Seine.

From the Conciergerie we made the short walk to Saint Chapelle – one of my favorite chapels. The stained glass is absolutely incredible. This chapel was built to house the Crown of Thorns. Whether it ever did is unknown. This is my third time and I’m still amazed by its beauty when I walk in.

From there it was another short walk to Cathedral at Notre Dame. This cathedral is also breathtaking, but in a different way than Saint Chapelle.

Our last stop of the day was to a museum of Medieval Art, named the Cluny Museum. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Flu and food update: I didn’t feel great this morning, but quiche for lunch helped and I look forward to a good dinner. I figure I am close to 100% now!
