And other kinds of people followed. We visited Chartres Cathedral, a little more than an hour by train from Paris. I'm so tired (it's late Monday night as I write this) maybe I'll add some more comment in the morning. But then, since I tend to beat myself up when we travel and never have enough spare time, I'll just refer you here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartres_Cathedral .
My wife just got back from a ten day visit to Nepal. This was done under the wing of a community development agency and school, the Mitrata Home for Children, that we have supported since we went there together ten years ago. The organization has ties to St. Louis. She got some wonderful images. This is a young Buddhist monk at Boudhanath Stupa, a large community of Tibetan religious refugees in Kathmandu. A set of my wife's pictures is on Flickr here.
TOMORROW: Restoration
