BTW, I try to avoid hustling for my blog, but I do have some interesting photos of restored altars and Colonial Spanish art from my trip through the Central California missions last week. You can see them here: http://spanishnativity.typepad.com

It’s hard to believe that these things were done by Franciscans, the worst of the religious orders now, but the Spanish Franciscans who went to the New World spent literally years assembling the music they wanted to take with them, devoted much time to soliciting donations of art, and created beautiful environments for their humble converts.

Love your site, but is there any way you could provide graphic files that are much, much, much larger? Four or five megs would be good.

Don’t mean to criticize or complain, but my CRS syndrome has been augmented by CSS syndrome.

BEAUTIFUL! One of these days we may get out to the west coast, we’ll have to put some of the missions on our tour.
