Thursday -
We woke up later and headed headed to an Island in the middle of the river that houses Notra Dame and Saint Chapell cathedral(Sorry about the spelling). So first we did Chapell this is a church in the middle of an old private kings home. Its small you walk in on the lower level and it has arches and some stained glass then you take a tiny spriral staircase up to the second level, which is where the king would have service , the lower was for servents. As soon as you walk up you are surounded by huge stain glass windows. You barley notice anything else all the rest of the struckure just kinda disapears. Very Cool. So on to Notra Dame, I waited in line to go up to the tower while joe looked around when he came back since I had not moved we decided to just see the inside. More stain glass windows and some other ornate church stuff. On our way out people were protesting something.. didnt think anything of it then we decided to walk around the cathedral to see the arches on the back side. Very nice garden on the other end more attractive than the front. On the way back around police started showing up with there big shields so we took the liberty to head back to the hotel to start our journey to spain.
En Route to Spain -
We headed out of town not too bad we were lucky enough to be able to get on one road and just stay on it to get out. We took one detour before we reached our current destination there is a scenic drive thru the country side to see some of the 150 or so gigantic vacation homes of the kings of europe. These were amazing places. The drive was a good but narrow road trees and wild life all around. Some little villages now and then, but those houses we passed on occasion where huge. One has 440 rooms and is the biggest in the area.
Anyway, off we go again heading to the frech wine country then onto spain. May try to get there today but we will see.
