One of the highlights of my unplanned walk today occurred when I visited the cathedral of Bergen! This 12th century treasure was spectacular. As in most cases, you can just walk in to most of the cathedrals in Europe. As I approached the doors I noticed that there would be an afternoon organ recital in 15 minutes. I walked in and to my amazement there were 4 other people there... for a brief moment, it crossed my mind to quickly snap my photos and get out before the recital began! Yet something made me sit instead... and honestly, it was my fortune not to "snap and run"
The music was divine! There was no program (that I was aware of), and 2 of the people who were there when I arrived left... but for 40 minutes I sat there transfixed in the beauty that filled the cavernous stone walls! Although I have a several pictures from my stay, they do not do justice to the experience. As I sat listening, I could not help but say "thank you"!
