It is indeed.

Pity I couldn't contribute this time. We're snowed under with work until
the 15th. Currently, I don't even find the time to lurk.

It's a world treasure, not just a national one. Its grace & beauty 
surpassed its original purpose.

Rick, thanks for your comment--from a fellow traveler. Of course the photo is of Notre Dame. I found a hotel literally just across the intersection. I was shocked and saddened when it burned. They are rebuilding it, but there is no replacement for that forest of 13th century timbers. After I left I realized that the air I was breathing probably had a lot of lead in it. My wife and I are getting old, but would like to get in one last trip apiece to our favorite countries, Italy and Sweden. And I like France, too--and England, and Germany, and Austria, and Spain, and Portugal, and the Netherlands, etc. And I forgot countries I've been to in Africa and South America. I miss them all, except for Russia.

They are all ugly outside their shells. Never eat half an escargot and look
at what's left.
The size doesn't help either.

Ick.

What is it about the lack of a shell that makes them more repulsive than other 
mollusks?
