<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello you all,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Because of the messages that I have received from so many of you, I had a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>bunch of copies made of the pictures that I took of the Camino Crucifix with</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the right arm downward. One of you wrote that even through the e-mail medium</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the Crucifix appears exquisite. And I think it is ...... It is a beautiful</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and haunting expression of love.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>If you'd like me to mail you copies of the pictures just send me your address</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>directly.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Caveat: The pictures were taken with one of those toy Elph-2 cameras</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(smaller than a pack f cigarettes) and, consequently, they are not terribly</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>good. But it appears that they are good enough.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>When walking the Camino I do not keep a diary, nor take notes, since I do it</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>strictly for myself. Therefore I do not have either the name of the town or</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of the church. The town is after O Cebreiro, right on the main street of one</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of those little villages on the way to Santiago. The church is a very small</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and unassuming of, I think, Romanesque style. Inside it there is a balcony</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>with a centuries-old wooden organ, of the type that used to be cranked up by</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hand and that had poles that you pushed in or out to modify the tone. I have</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>only seen one other such organ in a town In Minas Gerais in Brasil; but that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>had been imported from Germany, whereas the one in the Camino had been</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>locally made.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The church had, last year, an extremely amiable and knowleadgeble young</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>priest from France who, he said, had volunteered as caretaker for the Summer.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>If, perchance, one of you made a note of the name of the town and of the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>church I'd appreciate your telling me.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Warm regards,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Rosina</FONT>
