Today I had a lot of work on my plate since my final exam and presentation are both tomorrow but I made some time to visit Sainte Chapelle which had been on my list for a while. It's a church that was built in 1248 for Saint Louis to house this collection of Christian artifacts that he had. The outside of the church is pretty typical Gothic and it's under construction so its especially unimpressive but the real treasure is on the inside. The giant stained glass windows inside Sainte Chapelle are so amazing that it was worth the super long line. Each giant window represents a different part of the Bible and there are 12 statues placed around the chapel that are the apostles. It's all so pretty.
I also went to the movies and saw an awesome movie called Frances Ha. All in all a pretty lazy day but it was pretty nice.
