Do you ever have that feeling when you walk into a cathedral, and you're a bit awestruck, but you know it's just architecture, but you wonder how you might have felt about it walking in 600 years ago, with the ideas and prevailing beliefs of the day? How the vaults soaring above your head really would have seemed to be reaching to heaven, and how the air would be heavy and cold with mysticism?
When the parade of giants came through Barcelona during the La Mercè city festivals, I couldn't help but wonder how the people hundreds of years ago must have felt watching them, and the giant eagles and underworld monsters that are also part of the festivities, go by.
People still turn out in force, from children sitting on their fathers' shoulders, to grandmothers watching from their balconies...

Nice dress.
I always think about that when I go into old places, so its nice to know other people do too. Its crazy to think how they would have perceived things differently than we do. It probably gave them a much more profound sense of awe.
so cool!!
Kallie: Precisely!
Also, I'm annoyed I haven't photographed this dress properly and summer is ending and I keep dropping egg on it and stuff...
Yea, I am always so amazed when I walk into super old buildings. When I visited Notre Dame I was in awe, it is so beautiful and just thinking about how old it is was just amazing :)

Like Kallie said, I also think about the same thing. Maybe it's what makes us like traveling to think about these things in depth? :)
