Ya, I would be eager to return. The TV pictures of the interior are stunning. We may roll through Paris for one day just to see the cathedral. And I expect the mobs to be huge the first year or so.

In case you missed it, you might be able to see it on demand on PBS. That's what we had to do since our local PBS outlet (Ga. Public Broadcasting) chose to show a high school football game instead at the scheduled time. In most parts of the country football is a sport. In Ga. it seems to be a religion.
