Dear Travel Friends 
 
DEVASTATING NOTRE-DAM FIRE IN PARIS
    On 15 April 2019, Notre-Dame Cathedral, probably one of the most important attractions in Paris, was partially destroyed by fire. 
     After burning for about fifteen hours, the spire and roof had collapsed and the structure, interior and many windows were severely damaged.
     Firefighters prevented even more extensive damage to the interior and works of art and other treasures were quickly evacuated and saved. Other irreplaceable treasures were sadly damaged or destroyed. 
     The cathedral's two pipe organs, and three 13th-century rose windows, suffered little damage.
     President Macron vowed the country would come together as one and restore the cathedral within five years. He immediately launched a fundraising campaign which brought in pledges of over $1 Billion worldwide, within days. 
     Gillian and Bob visited Notre-Dam in 2017 and attached is our pictorial tribute to this French National Treasure.

SOCIAL MEDIA AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT WILDLIFE WHILE TRAVELING
     The TreadRight Foundation is passionate about protecting wildlife worldwide. We have been asked to help get the word out that poachers in Africa are using unsuspecting tourists to locate and hunt their prey!
     By posting their pictures of wild animals on social media, tourists are posting a geo-tag containing the GPS location of their photos, thus unknowingly helping poachers  track and locate their prey. 
     Find out how to keep your picture posts private and remove geo-tagging from your iPhone and Android.
See Peter and Mary Kummerfeldt's, wonderful "Outdoor Africa Safaris" pictures.
