shambles

As the prison expanded, each new cell block held more prisoners that the original ones. Over the years, Eastern has fallen into disrepair. Tourists support restoration efforts with the admission fee. Despite the negative effect it had on prisoners, it is an important piece of American history and a landmark to what detention facilities should not be.

parisian gothic

I took many many photos of Notre Dame. It took walking around the cathedral for me to realize that it means "Our Lady." French isn't my first language, in case you were wondering.

bienvenue a paris!

In the interest of keeping posts relevant and making it easier for me to find them in the future, I'm going to backdate a post a day for the honeymoon trip to Paris. Upon landing, we shed our luggage and took off for a walk. We wound up at a cafe called Le Bonaparte where we had a typically Parisian snack of cheese and bread with two cups of coffee.
