The house is actually leaning to the right!!! The door is collapsing, but supposedly the owners have reinforced everything, and the townspeople still use the building on a regular basis. Yeah.... right?! This is also our awesome Tour Guide for the trip who was a saint for putting up with all of my hellions for 10 days. :)
Medieval meets modern...
Here is the memorial for the Archbishop Thomas Beckett who King Henry IV (I believe... don't quote me on that! All of the Roman numerals get soo confusing!) had killed because they disagreed on their political and spiritual views.
As we walked around the cloisters, we could hear the choir singing!
Now we visit the majestic figure of the Notre Dame Chartres Cathedral in Chartres, France. It is one of 7 Notre Dame Gothic Cathedrals in France.
Everywhere we went the flowers were just huge and gorgeous!! How I wish the San Anton climate would allow for this!!
Rose and Lancet windows
Very old pilgrimage shrine to the Virgin Mary (her clothes are new though)
The altar looked like it belonged in Italy, not France!! All that white and green Italian marble...
Pretty sure Batman helped create the design for the organ... hehe!
