Lots of Photos from Paris

Notre-Dame-gargoyle

I’ve just uploaded a bunch of Paris photos, including some that I took from the top of Notre Dame Cathedral this morning. The gargoyles up there are fascinating, and the tower offers some spectacular views of the city. I also uploaded an album of some miscellaneous Paris shots that don’t fit into any other album.

You can see the latest photos—and all the photos from the trip so far—by going to our Facebook page and clicking on the Photos tab.

We met the Penn State travelers tonight at an Alumni Association-sponsored reception at the hotel. Sophie and Ronnie talked to the group a bit about their areas of expertise, and quite a few of the travelers commented on how lucky they feel to have a couple of scholars of European history and religion hosting the tour. And Sophie, whose last name is de Schaepdrijver (pronounced SHOP-driver), got some laughs when she explained that her name is pronounced somewhere between “skyscraper” and “cab driver.”

More later.…
