The night Notre Dame burned I was at Sumac Grill in Reykjavik, Iceland. A trip I took with some Team Wisconsin Moms who are now dear friends. Regret filled me for never visiting ND. I’m not a religious person but the place had my curiosity from “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” So during our 40-hour flight home from Thailand, the one place I wanted to make sure we saw during an eight hour layover in Paris, was Notre Dame. Walking in I was overtaken by emotion. It was Sunday morning and we walked in during Sunday Mass. The walls echoed with beautiful choir music. There really couldn’t have been a more perfect way to experience the architecture and atmosphere.
