More Paris Photos

Today, I’d like to share some more photos that I took inside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. As I mentioned in my previous post, we visited in 2007 and we had a truly great time. There is so much beauty to see in Paris, as I'm sure you know. Brit Boy and I want to go back someday and see more. I know we only scratched the surface.

Notre Dame was just breathtaking. Even though there were loads of people inside the cathedral, it never felt particularly crowded. People were talking but they talked in a wonderfully hushed tone, so that it felt as if you were one of only a handful of people there as you took in the beauty of the place. There is not a lot of artificial light inside the cathedral and I think it just adds to the whole experience. The glow from the candles and the outside light streaming in gave everything a serene feeling.

Here are more views of the glorious windows and the beautiful architecture.









Getting a chance to see this beautiful cathedral was an amazing experience that I’ll never forget and I’m glad I could share a bit of it with you :-)

Packing and Some Pictures From Salisbury

Happy Friday everyone! :-) I'm still making my lists for my trip. I have started a series of stacks of clothes to take and I keep adding and subtracting from those stacks. I'm going to be back home for nearly three weeks, but I won't take that many outfits...lifting a suitcase like that would surely break my back ;-) So in order to spare my back I'm thinking strategically with the packing. Never fear. I'm pulling it all together :-)

Anyway, yesterday I took a break from thinking about my trip. Brit Boy and I went to Salisbury to do some errands and things. While we were there, we took advantage of the beautiful weather and wandered down to Salisbury Cathedral. It was wonderful. People were scattered around the lawn surrounding the cathedral, soaking up the sun and enjoying themselves. It was one of those perfectly sunny days that we don't get around here very much :-)

I snapped a few photos to let you all see the beautiful view from the cloisters, near the entrance to the cathedral. I love looking out through the lovely carvings up towards the spire. I hope you enjoy these photos!







Have a great weekend everyone! In my next post, I'll show you the chaos that is my packing ;-)
