Paris has hills to the north and the south. On the northern hills is another of those icons of Paris, Sacre Ceur. On a warm sunny day the whiteness is almost blinding. Crowds cover the steps and lawns leading up to the Basilica, sellers hawk their souvenir trinkets, beer and water sellers go by, sidewalk musicians fill the air with music of all kinds, and somewhere in all the hubbub, you can find peace and serenity. Ann also found time to text her friend Jeanne, who was here with her 6 months ago. A ride down la funiculaire and 2 Metro rides and it's back the one of the other hills here in Paris, Butte Chaumont, where Marc lives on avenue Simon Bolivar.
