> Hello you all,
> I!m afraid that the pictures I took would really tell the tale.  It was
just too crowded and I!m only five feet tall.
> However,
> One of the Santiago newspapers published many pictures the which I cut and
saved, including some of the Archbishop as the door came down, and one of
the king and queen with the botafumeiro, and many others. Yesterday Il
Messaggero (Rome!s sort of New York Times) had pages and pages on the
Santiago celeb rations including pictures; one of the pictures shows the
Obradoiro side of the Cathedral as the fireworks were going on with laser
projections showing huge welcoming arms on the face of the church. Today!s
Messaggero reports that on Sunday night there was a shower of stars over
Santiago, which is something that hadn!t happened in ages; the report
comments that it was just such rain of stars that had told the bishop in the
ninth century where Santiago was buried. The newspaper also carries pictures
of the king hugging Jimmy.
> I thought I would send the pictures to dear Pieter in Holland and he can
post them for all of you to see, or else I would take them to Kinko!s when I
get home and ask them to do it. What do you think?
> I don!t think that anyone can get a good mind-vision of the coming down of
the door by mere words.
> ....The shower of stars is just too much, but it was reported in today!s
paper!
> Last I heard Pieter was in Paris traipsing around Pere Lachese (looking
for Jim Morrison!s grave?) and I don!t know when he!ll go back, but I!m sure
he!ll let me know.
> Well, warm regards to you all.
