Topic of Choosing #3

Topic of Choosing #3

            I found another online article written by an individual about their top 20 favorite things that they encountered and experienced along the Camino de Santiago.  They begin their list with the ancient Abbey Church of Vezelay, which has some interesting architectural aspects.  The architect who built the church designed it so that when the sun comes up in the morning the church fills with all kinds of light because of the placement of the church.  Another favorite aspect of the trail was the endless fields of sunflowers that the hiker sees in Burgundy.  Cathedrals are everywhere in Spain and so the individual notes another one of their favorite cathedrals that they visited.  This one was the Cathedral of Bourges.  This cathedral’s beautiful ceilings sit 125 feet above the where you would stand.  Spanish art was also on the list of top destinations and in specific an art studio in a small village in the city of Saint Goussaud was highly noted for their art on display.  Along with these beautiful works of art, the art of nature is also mentioned as being a different form of appreciation of the culture that one experiences on the trail.  Specifically, the individual talks about crossing the Dordogne River at sunset and enjoying all the beautiful colors.
