I compiled a list in my journal of things like seeing the entirety of the Louvre and exploring Paris’ vast underground catacombs, things I’d read about since childhood and other things I’d learned of once settling in.

Armistice Day 2014
Today I was able to check another item off of my Paris Bucket List. And this was a pretty big one. I attended a church service at Notre Dame. Last summer when I studied abroad in France, I had the privilege of walking through Notre Dame while they were holding a service and I was able…
