like carillon ringing only on Sunday

of COURSE i remember that!! we were so exhausted and we were practically out in traffic trying to get just the right shot. if only we'd known that first day that by day 20 we would not really care anymore about the 'perfect' shot and just do the garden gnome pose in every picture to prove we were there.

here's one for you. remember the day we were finally sick and tired of the cathedral bells? wasnt it our picnic lunch at the farmstay when we realized we were sitting directly under the little church belltower......a bell that chimed every quarter hour? how funny were we refusing to give up our heavenly reading spot, just hurriedly covering our ears every fifteen minutes for nearly two hours.

p.s. this is the Monet painting of the cathedral in Rouen that we visited on my birthday.
