Paris with Mom

[learnteach]

Beautiful city, couldn't ask for better weather.

Slightly aggravated at M's little old lady habits, well, what did I expect? Have mainly spent time on her requests/desires, not because she's not listening to mine but because mine are more difficult. Lit a candle at Notre Dame for Mary; the place is grandiose and huge but doesn't feel like a church. Walked all around the bastille.

Still no Pratchett. Somewhere in this city is the book I want...and I won't get it until London in over a week. Bastads!

Feet really hurting; injured the toe of the left foot (cuticle) and just been walking a bunch.

Sailing at the Louvre, and the hidden gold, and ducks...ah.

If you have time, about an hour out of Paris is Chartres. The cathedral there was built over such a long period of time that its architecture encompasses high gothic to romanesque styles. The artwork inside is tremendous, especially the main alter. It is also a cathedral famous for pilgramages and his the place that C and I first encountered the ghost of Chartres.
