Reims!

September 12, 2008 at 4:38 PM

Well, I'm now in Reims. I have some wonderful photos of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. This particular cathedral is where the kings of France were anointed. Standing inside, one can't help but imagine about how the inside was decorated on these occasions. There are some fantastic statues that you can view inside of the museam located next door. I took pictures of my favorites. I also went to the fine arts museam. They have some fantastic things there, including two paintings by Monet and one beautiful sculpture by Rodin.

Last night, I happened to come across a "Jonglissimo," or juggler festival. It was really a ton of fun. You couldn't say that they were the best jugglers, but they combined comedy with juggling with music, for a great result. This morning, I got up and saw one of the players at breakfast. He asked me if I would be interested in playing some music with him. I agreed and we went to the park where we jammed out with him on the accordion and me on the fiddle. We had a good time. Tonight I'm going to see them play again.

I'm glad to be back in France. The food is so much better and cheaper here! It's amazing how simple things like grapes, tomatoes, cheese, and meat can taste so different. I think you would probably have a tough time finding a better sandwich than that which you can find here.

Next stop will be Nice. (That's Niece, not Nice, though I'm sure it will be nice.)
I'll be chillin at the beach. Later!
