Great web-site

I came across a great website while researching cities in France with Gothic cathedrals: www.mappinggothic.org. There is some great stuff there. All the cities/cathedrals which I hope to visit are listed there. If I talk about a place or a church and you want to know more, you can look it up there. There is a map of all the Gothic churches, all one has to do is touch one of the little x's to find out more. There is a complete list of all the towns with Gothic churches, you can find out more about where I am that way also. At the top of each page there is a quick tour, offering a slide show off photos of that church. There is also a floor plan with little arrows that when you click them show a view in that direction. But most amazing of all are the little circles that indicate a 3d photo. Click on that and you get a 3d picture that you can move through, left or right, up or down, zoom in or out, it's quite amazing. Go ahead and check it out and follow along with me on this pilgrimage to these very special Holy sites. You can also learn a lot about these masterpieces of Gothic art.
