This was my third visit to Notre Dame, and I have never seen so many people. On Sunday afternoon, we looked at the line circling the square out front and gave up. We returned about 10:00 AM on Monday morning, the line was long, but moving well. And well worth the wait. The interior has not been this clean and bright in hundreds of years. It is simply breathtaking inside. I was first there in January of 1991. Bush had started a war with Iraq a week before, I lit a candle for world peace, and here I am 35 years later, with another senseless war, another candle seeking world peace.

It takes your breath away. Sunday afternoons, in those heavily touristed spots, a nightmare.
