Where Did we go today?
Chartres!
of course we have to pull out the good ole Rick Steve's book to see where to go!
While on the train from Paris to Chartres we did our homework...
The train station! Mom had fall break and so she and dad (although the pictures with him were on their camera-but I promise he's there)
came to visit and see what it is to be parisian.
This is the giant cathedral that pretty much dominates all the surrounding countryside.
Rue Sainte Meme. * So the french pronunciation might be a little different but it is SAINTE with an e making it feminine MEME! So Meme this picture is for you. However your street is very short... sorry! And I didn't get the chance to take the picture of the Sainte Meme mannequin.
The lovely front of the cathedral... and it's scaffolding. Yay!
Pretty candles.
The cathedral is famous for it's stained glass windows. They were pretty impressive.
We climbed the 300 Stairs to see the view up top.
It unfortunately didn't include quasimodo
Funky looking building, I think it might be an art museum
Kids playing duck duck goose.
View of the countryside.
Gargoyle
Gargoyle- little kids ran away.
Going down the 300 stairs makes one dizzy.
Goodbye Chartes, it was a lovely day.
The guardian angel looking over the city.

(working on your request for more comments)
the candle picture is my favorite, and i like the last one too. You know those random words you have to type to prove that you're a human being and not a machine or something? Mine is "dectanu" for this comment and it looks like it should be a french word but I'm pretty sure it's not, although perhaps you should try to use it in every day language and see what happens :-D
