Posting from bleery, cold-induced mental haze to note that one day I will travel Europe, and I do hope you are among my traveling companions.
Anyone can walk to see an object of breathtaking beauty, but in this age of marvels, it is so easy to go, 'Oh look, another gold thing.' How wonderful it is, isntead, to experience these things with both the wonder and knowledge of someone with the true desire to appreciate. In some ways, it's better than standing in front of it myself. But I'd rather be standing there with you!
