Traveling in the dead of winter can be downright COLD. Especially when you are relying on your own two legs to take you everywhere you want to go once you get to your destination. This was no exception when we arrived in Bourges last Saturday with my friend Emily and her American friends Jake and Jen. While there is not a whole lot to do in Bourges to keep one occupied every minute of the day, there is an absolutely incredible cathedral, with the most magnificent stained glass windows. I should mention that every cathedral in this country has incredible stained glass windows, but it was at this one that I proceeded to take a picture of every one. Just take a look at some of them, and then drink in their beauty and the fact that they have probably been around longer than the USA has as a country, and you will be able to understand why they are so captivating.

The cathedral was without a doubt one of my favorite parts of the day, but the absolute best part was all the laughs we had. One of the days laughs, and by far the funniest part of the day, came from when we decided we were going to play on the merry go round carousel that was near the cathedral. It started out with Emily on it and Jake swinging her around, but we watched in slow motion as Emily's body parts began to hang off the carousel and then in the blink of an eye we saw her literally fly off the carousel and land on the ground. I still laugh when I think about it a week later, and I have fantastic picture proof of her flying off this thing:
I really should have just video recorded us for most of the day and posted it on here so you could hear all the laughs that occured. Who you travel with definitely can either make or break the best/worst travel experiences, and I've been fortunate enough to find some great travel companions!
