Wow!




This cathedral was amazing. It was build in the 1400's. It's huge with cavernous arches inside that are 100's of feet up. It's unbelievable. I went to a lot of church's and cathedrals in Ireland and Mexico, but this is by far the most impressive.

In both Italy and Spain there is a guard at the door of many famous churches and cathedrals that turns people away if you are not dressed appropriately. Your shorts must be a certain length and the shoulders of women must be covered. Conveniently, there is a booth just in front selling scarves and wraps :-) I didn't see any men with tank tops going in, so I'm not sure if they would be turned away or not. Lots of women were being turned away for the length of their shorts or wearing halter tops or thin strapped tanks.

Sorry for the poorly lit photos, but my point-and-shoot can only do so much in these situations.
