For a point-and-click, it's not bad, although I'm in the market for something a bit more substantial, something along the lines of a Nikon D40x. Indeed I am.

Duuuude, ya GOT to go to Italy for vacation (we took our honeymoon there) — St. Peter’s Bascilica is the cathedral of all cathedrals… after that no other church is impressive, it’s like visiting Nepal and then viewing our Samgak-san…

The Bishop’s Residence is a rather curious-looking building. Too bad you couldn’t get some more good exterior shots. A longer essay on the cathedral’s history might have been in order, too.

You’re probably right, but I thought I’d wait until the building’s restoration was complete so I could do a proper photo essay.

The Bishop's Residence is a rather curious-looking building. Too bad you couldn't get some more good exterior shots. A longer essay on the cathedral's history might have been in order, too. But who am I to complain? Your photo essays are always enjoyable. Ah, you’re off your Presbyterian kick!

Brings back good memories of my visit to that cathedral. There are some tapestries on the side walls of that cathedral of St. Andrew Kim etc, along with a basement chapel housing some holy relics.
