Santo Domingo

Ok, I think you all know James and I aren't what you would call "religious", however we couldn't help but feel a tremendous amount of piety when we went into the Cathedral Santo Domingo. They have what I assume are called relief frescos containing the family tree of the saints all over the roof of the church, plus the altars are carved from gold. It was beautiful. Also at the cathedral is a huge museum containing artifacts and historical items from BC to fairly current Mexico. I highly recommend going and wandering for a few hours. James and I were really drawn in by the huge historic library that had all sorts of religious and historical text from all cultures. Unfortunately, you cannot browse them. I'm sure they are restricted to special scholars. James went haywire with pictures again, so look for the photo album. We'll weed through them and get them uploaded sometime soon.
