Chartres Cathedral

Another day trip was scheduled to visit the famed Notre Dame de Chartres cathedral.  I'm a big fan of religious architecture, and Chartres definitely did not disappoint.  Notre Dame de Paris is an impressive church, but Chartres is amazing.  It's huge, and everywhere you look there's something carved into the stone.  What more can I say?  I loved it.
