I spent all day Tuesday walking around Chartres and its cathedral. I love old churches. The stand looking so strong and proud. I wonder what it would be like to have such faith in something that you could plan on spending 200 years build and still not be finished.
Chartres is a beautiful country town with twisting little streets and very friendly people.
The cathedral is on top of a hill over looking the whole surrounding countryside. I climbed the bell tower and could see for miles, but what was really amazing was the little sculptures of all sorts of imaginary beasts living high in the tower. I guess I am getting old but as I touched those works by men who lived hundreds of years ago it made me wish I had more of myself to leave behind, be it stone, charity or flesh and blood.
Now back to Paris. If all of you out in the universe don't find love today I hope you at least find a good cuddle from a cat or dog. I think they are the real cupids pulling at our hearts.

I love old churches as well!
