I traveled with Arizona Highways Photo to Bryce Canyon National Park. The workshop was led by Beth Ruggiero-York. A former co-worker Michele Holden went also. It was March, so we knew to expect cold. The first day it was snowing!
Discovering the world both near and far. Making friends along the way. Come along with me and share your comments.

Ladee + Basilica + teeny prayer = chaotic blizzard (oops)
The day started off innocent enough. We decided that we were going to Sacre Coeur as neither of us had seen it. We strategized our Metro route, enjoyed breakfast and coffee at the apartment, bundled up and off we went. The weather was a light freezing rain, so up went the umbrellas to keep us somewhat dry.
The Metro ride went off without a hitch, changing staions, hiking up and down steps (oops, wrong side of the tracks) but we arrived in Montmartre in good spirits. We walked up the little hill to the bottom of Sacre Coeur steps and looked up. Nope, not going to "Rocky" tackle these steps today, so we decided to ride the Funicular (Pittsburgh folks, think incline). We had bought a bundle of ten Metro tickets earlier so we skipped the purchase line and queued for the ride. Only one was running, because they were blowing the leaves off of the other track. Sun City must have brought a multi-lingual bus tour because all of the little old ladies were pushing and shoving to get to the best view (windows were steamy, so I have no idea what they think they were going to see).
