Bourge
We're staying tonight and tomorrow night in Bourge. According to Rick Steves, "Bourge" may as well be European for "boring," but I say move aside, Rick Steves, while I take pictures of amazing architecture and fabulous 13th century stained glass. This morning, after a breakfast of (take your pick) proscuttio (sp?) ham, yogurt, croissants, nutella, and fresh apricots and apples, we hopped in the van, stopped at the geographic center of France, and continued on to our hotel. Walked past a chateau that looks like Belle (from Beauty and the Beast)'s new home, and into the cathedral. Climbed 390 steps in a spiral staircase to the top of a tower. Gazed upon piece after piece after piece of 13th century, narrative stained glass in the apse of the cathedral (most of which is just above eye level), etc. Gotta go, borrowing someone else's computer, going to bed.
