Notre Dame

There is no hunchback.  Regardless, the cathedral is as magical as the Disney movie presents it to be.  Gargoyles align the outside walls, the stained glass has a life of its own, and the vaulted ceilings leave you wondering just how they were able to create such a structure.  My art humanities cathedral terminology eludes me unfortunately and that is the extent of description I can provide.  My first interaction with the cathedral was during a morning run.  I ran the streets above the Seine and watched the sun rise over the gothic architecture.  It became illuminated and the shadows provided a depth like wrinkles on an old face.
