Just a Typical Weekend

This weekend, Verity got the idea in her head that she wished to visit Chartres, a town that I only know of because of its cathedral.  After more researching . . . yup, still really only the cathedral that is noteworthy.  It has a stained glass museum, as the cathedral itself has more medieval stained glass windows than any other French cathedral; a history museum that specializes in military uniforms; and an agricultural museum.  When we separately told two people our plans to visit Chartres, each person independently asked, “Why?”  The second asked if we were staying the weekend, and when Verity assured her we were only going for half a day, I guess she sighed in relief.  So cathedral and walking around it was!
