Notre Dame de Paris We first saw the Notre Dame de Paris cathedral at night, and even then you could see it was something to marvel at. We didn't tour the inside until later and it was just as grand on the inside. European history is so much more fascinating than America's, since everything is so much older and full with centuries of history. This cathedral was started in 1163 and completed in 1345. It has been restored a few times since, but still holds true to its original design.
Fishing Piers If you ever visit Pensacola Beach in Florida, then you can’t miss two things, the beach ball water tower and the Pensacola Beach Fishing Pier. The pier is a fun place to walk on, but make sure you take a walk under it also. The waves crashing against the piers can be quite a site when the waves get rough. Early in the morning or late in the evening things can be very calm too, so it’s always an interesting place to visit. Take your camera as there is always a lot of people watching to be had, or at least the always present, camera-happy seagulls.
The Castle on a Hill You don’t have to be a historian to realize that Dover Castle is the real McCoy. As you approach the main gate, you notice the low gully surrounding much of the structure facing the mainland. This surely made it difficult for any invading army to scale its wall during battle. The other side faces the English Channel, with an even higher climb up the White Cliffs of Dover.
