	This is good news, indeed; I liked very much that cathedral,  
specially the music and the stories told by the touch of it's ancient  
stones.

	Please don't exaggerate; it was no more the eight blocks away from  
the plaza. And the grounds around it were wonderful...provided you  
were barefoot :-)
