This is the best image I could find showing the Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart) Basilica that sits above our first hostel. What a trek-we walked for hours from the city center to the Village Hostel where we'd stay for our first night. The choice to walk versus using the public transportation came as a sort of punishment to Mike getting his £50 pass eaten by the machine at the gate of the train station.The location we chose was a surprise-we had no idea we'd be at the foot of this amazing landmark. I thought it was merely one of the many gorgeous buildings dotting the landscape until I took a walk up top while Mike napped to find it offers one of the best vistas of the city. We visited again later in the afternoon with a couple hotel-mates and watched the sun set while we noshed on sandwiches and beers.

Glad to hear that you made it safely! We hope that you were able to get the pass reimbursed...good luck explaining that in French. Sounds like you are off to a good start otherwise. Keep posting! Love you both. David & Martha (& Baby)
