We went first to Sant Chappell church. It's claim to fame is the architecture that allowed huge walls of stained glass windows. The colors were incredible, but it was hard to see the images in the glass. They were so small and went so high. They are supposed to tell various stories from the Bible. I did see Moses being put in a basket in the Nile.To be honest, Notre Dame was not quite what I expected. The front was more
boxy shaped instead of angles and arches. You couldn't see the gargoyles from the ground. We went into the church and I walked around. It's a cool church. Their confession "booths" are glass rooms where the sinner confesses and receives counsel. No anoniminity.We were going to climb to the top, but decided not too. I was still sick and we'd already been to the top of two different Paris landmarks.

You might be home by now - I can't remember when you were leaving Europe. Just wanted you to know how much we've enjoyed your blog! I had to catch up today. I missed a few days while I was up north and didn't have access to the Internet -- busy with Nicole's graduation and our new grandson.
