DAY 51 - 55:

Finished in the Netherlands- after staying at Meerworld -the glass tower hotel with the gorgeous view, and am now in France. Yesterday we arrived in Chartre and had a great time in the cathedral. Today we went on a tour with a man that has been studying it for about 30 years!!!! The stained glass is sooo beautiful and eveything has symbolic meaning!
Now we are in Le Mans. We are on our way to Quimper in the West to do more research for a few days before going to Poitier. I am very excited for the nexy leg of this trip!!!! I have been finding out some great things about genealogy today especially the du Plessis line. Life is good. The quote book continues :)
