Last time we went through the first part of the interview I conducted with fellow traveler Adam Taylor Smith about his four month trip to India and his subsequent book called “Where Camels Dance and Cows Wander, An Indian Odyssey”
If you missed it, I highly suggest you go back and read it!
Today we have part 2 packed with more heart-opening stories and experiences and some very useful travel itinerary recommendations.
When fellow traveler Adam Taylor Smith sent me his new book about his four month trip to India called “Where Camels Dance and Cows Wander, An Indian Odyssey” I was instantly enthralled.
India is one of those destinations that both intrigue me and make me very apprehensive; and I regret to say I have never been there; I hope to one day create a travel itinerary for it!
In my view India goes from the raw experience of human survival, to the extravagant display of art and tradition in Bollywood movies and local festivals.
From the incredible jaw-dropping architecture of temples, to the simple and rustic structure of the ashrams.
I’ve said it before that I started Cultural Travel Guide with the purpose of helping travelers live their cultural travel dreams by providing relevant information and clearly defined itineraries.
In the end, my purpose is to help educate and bring history and art to life through my message and the information I provide.
Why? Because in this way, travel experiences become meaningful and unforgettable and can, in my view, potentially contribute in creating a better world for everybody.
In the last article we learned how to recognize the key elements of a gothic cathedral, but I couldn’t just leave it at that, we have to apply the knowledge, don’t we? Remember the picture of Saint Denis holding his head?
Since the gothic style started in France, we must talk about the most representative of gothic cathedrals in this country.
I used to be embarrassed every time I heard the term “gothic cathedral” because I really didn’t know what it meant. Gargoyles? Darkness? Arches? Medieval?
And it would happen that I really couldn’t tell whether a church was gothic or not. Some look kind of like… the same, don’t they?
Well, no more. I went and did the research and now I’m going to teach you how to recognize a gothic cathedral.
