Can't compare yesterday's highlight (Lorraine American Cemetery) with today's, the Metz Cathedral. Yesterday's stirred the emotions; today's stirred the senses.
The Metz Cathedral is overwhelming in height (135.9-foot high nave) and number and quality of beautiful stained glass windows. You simply can't get your "arms" around it, and so you're left standing in awe. All you can do is sit down and say a little prayer and then dare to capture the awesomeness with a few smartphone pictures--it's almost humiliatingly laughable. (I know I'll feel the same in Notre Dame de Paris and Chartres Cathedral.) The two pictures on the right are only of the transepts--so many more windows around the nave and the choir. And, yes, I managed to get my credentials stamped.
I haven't seen a St James (St Jacque) waymarker in two days. But Metz did not disappoint in its own way--take a look at the picture advertising their mall--no shell.
