Bob W, Great stuff! Looks like you blended in perfectly with the locals. I especially liked P0010100 the window shot (P0010107 too), P0020239 the alleyway, the cathederal shots - can't imagine the energy and resources involved to construct it's delicate beauty, P0030455 the rail line thru the spiral, and the houses with the wood and plaster(?) exteriors P0030469 &70. Regards, Bob S.
