"I'm going to get metallic skin surgery" (Day 16)

Today we started off our day in the Cluny Museum. I didn't really know what to expect, because I had never heard of it. I really enjoyed this museum though. My favorite part was the stained glass windows. Over the span of this trip I've really enjoyed looking at them. I also was interested in the room with the statues with no heads. From my understanding, these statues were on the Notre Dame. However, during the French Revolution (?), the enemy thought these were the kings of France and they took off the heads. However, they were saints. The Unicorn Tapestries were probably the most notable display in the museum. If I can be completely honest, I didn't understand the big thrill when I saw them. However, then I was talking to someone and I got much more interested. They were explaining to me how so many elements of the tapestries are based on symbolism. There is something about symbolism that I love. I'm definitely going to go home and find out more about these tapestries.

After the museum, we went and got lunch and brought it to Dr. Mary and Francois' apartment. I'm very impressed that anyone could get furniture up those steps!

From here, Katie and I went to meet Magda at the Lafayette Galleries. We didn't realize it was so huge! It was cool to just walk around and see a different kind of store. We picked out what we would wear if we were to win an Academy Award, because of course that could happen any day now if someone sells the video to one of our plays in Fanjeaux.

Then we left and went to the Church os San Chapelle. The stained glass windows were amazing. Some construction was being done, so we couldn't see the whole thing, but I'm so glad we went here. I just love that people would choose to decorate their churches this way. I'm a very visual person, so I think it's a great idea to be able to see the stories in the Bible in order to learn them. I don't know the right way to say this, but it makes them so much more real if you can visualize it.

Then we went back to the Notre Dame. When we went Monday, we were being quickly ushered out and we wanted to spend more time there. We went and walked around the whole church just taking it all in.

We went back to the convent and walked to a close-by place for dinner. We had an early night but then we played palace for a while!
