March 27-28, 1998

I have been in Lyon, France for business and have a flight scheduled to Paris for the first leg of the journey home. Instead I get the local secretary to book me a train ticket. This high-speed TGV train gets me to downtown Paris in just under two hours. I spend the night there and have a few hours in the morning to kill. I took advantage of the time and revisited Sacre Coeur Church. On my way to see the Eiffel Tower, I got off at the Pont de l'Alma Metro station and accidentally walked over the underpass where Princess Diana died last Fall. The graffiti all over the bridge alerted me to it.
