Christmas Eve
21:35 CDG- get bag off conveyor belt
21:45 take CD VAL shuttle from t1 to t2
22:30 hop off RER B at Notre Dame and see long queue already forming for midnight mass. Thankfully staying right on the same square as the cathedral. Throw bags into room and queue up for mass.
24:00 Midnight mass! The choir singing was a great precursor
Christmas DAY
01:50 Notre Dame's bells are ringing like crazy! Joy tremendously fills my heart. Legs hurt from standing at mass b/c there was no space to sit (also barely made into cathedral)
02:00 see three handcuffed men guarded by police in the ER
02:30 sleep
09:00 cathedral bells wake me up
09:30 Laud morning prayer
10:00 Gregorian mass - choir is amazing
14:00 meet 2 nice Mormon missionaries from Idaho Falls and Park City who steer me away from pickpockets (not that I had anything valuable)
15:45 run to get in line for organ concert. Yay this time I get a seat. Sit with kind folks from Canton and Charleston. Organist and organ are top class-a must hear in Paris
17:45 Vespers evening prayer
