Thank you very much!

Wow. Thank you so much, I especially love looking through the clear window ..with the angels of past saints, and as though, past worshippers, looking through to what we wish we didn't have to call, ruins.. I have to hold my tongue, when you think about how Germany is scouring the globe, trying to fetch back any looted precious objects for their own cathedrals. My daddy was an American flyer, stationed in England. He was a rear tail gunner in bombers, and signed on for a whole second round of missions, because of these blitzes. Breaks my heart for everyone except the devil himself! Beautifully done talking tour, thank you ❤
