We have nothing that grand here. The artistic craftmanship is amazing. I am trying to think of the name of the movie about the building of such a cathedral - but it escapes me right now.<br />Thanks for taking us on the tour, have a great weekend and thank you for stoppping by my blog today. I hope you get to try a quince one day.
