Marquette Alumni Regatta

"Sailing a boat calls for quick action, a blending of feeling with the wind and water as well as with the very heart and soul of the boat itself. Sailing teaches alertness and courage, and gives in return a joyousness and peace that but few sports afford." - George Matthew Adams

French Friday: Montmartre

September 15, 2017 (258/365)

« On a beaucoup moins de voisins dans une ville que dans un village. » - Jean-Marie Gourio

Take a stroll with me through the village of Montmartre in Paris' 18th arrondissement. Climb the many steps and wander through the winding streets. Visit the awe-inspiring Sacré Cœur Basilica. Enjoy the musicians, street performers, and artists in the Place du Tertre. Pass by the Passe-Muraille (and it's "cheeky" counterpart! See top right of the photo). Take a picture of "the sinking house” and learn to say « Je t'aime » in 250 languages. Discover a moulin (windmill) or Deux (channel your inner Amélie), maybe even the Moulin Rouge. But above all, be sure to take in the spectacular view! [Photos taken during different trips with different cameras in different light and different seasons.]

Morning Glories

"Happiness is like a morning glory: Yesterday's won't bloom again; tomorrow's hasn't opened yet. Only today's flower can be enjoyed today." - Goswami Kriyananda

Never Forget

“Even the smallest act of service, the simplest act of kindness is a way to honor those we lost, a way to reclaim that spirit of unity that followed 9/11.” - President Barack Obama
