| The craftsmanship is extrodinary |
Our day started with a bit of house/boat cleaning. Carol
cleaned up the inside and I the deck walkways an ongoing effort. After lunch we
went on the tour of Notre Dame Basilica, a fascinating lovely place of worship.
The entire surface of the interior of the church is covered with wood,
decorated in gold leaf the church building began in 1824 and at the 100th
anniversary the entire interior was complete. Many wonderful works of art,
statues, paintings and beautiful word work. The pulpit took 2 years to complete
and is centered on the left side of the sanctuary with a stairway that winds
back and forth and up to the preaching station.
Last evening there was a half hour fireworks display by the
team from the US. Thousands of people watch from Clock Tower point close here
to the marina. We were able to watch from our aft deck, most of the boats had
people aboard and all the boat horns were sounded at the end of the show.
We may not have internet access for the next several days
but will post our blog when possible.

Just logging on after a few days to catch up on all your blogs...sure sounds like you're packing a lot into every day. I hope someone has found some answers for you on the silver church steeples! We're still enjoying unusually cool temps here in AR and spending as much time as possible outdoors. Had some time to read/nap in the hammock this afternoon too. Love all the pictures you post...it makes iall your adventures come to life.
