Today we continued with the Medieval Ages and history is just not my thing. Not that I'm especially bad at it, but I just don't really care about why the "Dark Ages" is not a historically accurate term.
We also visited the Cathedral in Le Mans, after a two-hour lunch which consisted of delicious Asian food. The cathedral was very beautiful inside and it was build over a period of about 400 years. I can't imagine spending that much time on a single project, or having to find multiple generations of contractors to make that happen. After that, we debriefed as a group about our last stage and mentally prepared ourselves for the next day of the stage tomorrow, but overall it was just a chill, in-class day. It was a long day and I was out of the dorm literally all day, which was nice, but it was also nice to have a quiet night!

My only real complaint about the north of France is that it never really gets warm. Sometimes it does, but it's more similar to Ohio in the fall and spring. For example, the high today was 73 and cloudy, but it didn't get up to 73 until about 4 o'clock and for that one hour, it was warm. For the rest of the day, it was not. In Ohio, when the high is 73, you know it's going to be 73 for most of the day. But in France, 73 means low 60s in the morning (until noon) and then for most of the night as well. Ohio is more extreme for sure, but at least you know it will get warm! I'm sure it doesn't get severely cold here like it does in Ohio. Apparently, it barely drops below freezing here in the winter, but c'est la vie!
The church windows are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHope you brought your sweater or jacket. It is rain, rain, and more rain in Ohio these weeks!
