Thursday: Sacre Coeur in Montmartre

Stephen says:
"This morning, we left on the metro to Abysses to climb up a few billion stairs to a basilica on a hilltop with a view of the whole city. Once at the top, after taking in the view, we settled down with our cameras and/or sketchbooks and whipped up some more sketches. We had lunch in a cafe on the hill with awesome hotdogs. Some of the students (me included) paid the six euros to enter the Basilica dome. Once at the top, we agreed it was worth thirty euros. We could see the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Centre Pompidou, and pretty much the entire city. It was awesome to say the least. We traipsed through the tourist trap market at the bottom of the hill and took the metro back to the hotel. We're leaving for Italy in a moment. Au revoir, Paris. Ciao Florence."
