Too many to detail... but Mont St. Michel France Today

Although we do have internet, the signal is very low.  So... a few comments about where I have been and I'll post pictures and details when I get home.

This is part of the Abbey at Mont St. Michel.  It is on an island where the tide comes and goes quickly, surrounding the island.  This picture is one of my favorites taken within the interior of a set of columns.

Yesterday started out church at Notre Dame in Paris.  Yesterday afternoon and today we visited many more churches.  Great bunch of pictures, lots of time to pray and reflect, and it feels good to put my feet up for a while.

Churches while in Paris

It's already midnight and we are getting up to go to 8:30am mass at Notre-Dame de Paris.  Super exctited about that. If we are late, we will make it to the 10:00am mass.

Churches we saw today that I will blog about when more time and better technology permits...
Notre-Dame de Paris (batteries ran out of my camera... will take more pictures tomorrow).
St. Eustache ... wonderful old church we caught the end of their service on this evening.
St. Merri ... another beautiful church I would like to spend more time in.

Today I was able to spend some quite time at Notre-Dame, light a candle and pray for the people I love and all that I am thankful for, reflect on all of the many artists whose labor of love has gone into the church buildings we visited today.

Much more to come,

St. Mary le Bow Church, Cheapside, London

And the European church and chapel hunt begins. Today we were lucky enough to stumble upon St. Mary le Bow Church. Tomorrow I am going to buy a tripod for my camera, but for today I have posted a couple of photos from within the church.

Working on this internet system is not like working on my own system so for now, this is all I will post about this church.  But, their link is below and when I am able to work on a keyboard I am familiar with and not on a timed internet card, I plan to add more information about this beautiful church.
