You captured the backstory of the Monastery perfectly, and your descriptions matched the pictures. Even so, I think this is one destination I'll skip, though, thank you very much. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Ummm....this church isn't in California. It's in Peru.

was only in Lima overnight so I didn't get to check out this one. I did spend quite a bit of time in Quito though and did check out every one of their churches. Loved them. I guess it's because in Oregon where I grew up we didn't have fascinating old churches (and relatively speaking the ones in South America are still new compared to Europe).

Now, ask me about the time I went around a cemetery in Costa Rica snapping pictures of all the fascinating crypts.

Thanks for a great review and I did review your pictures. These were great but that last one was awsome and dreadful.

Love these historical reviews and great educational pieces as well.

What a great review. And what a place to use as a backdrop for a thriller type story. I enjoyed every word of it.
