A large church very close by. Very Baroque apparently. I find it all a little overpowering.
I did not capture the many altars but the stain glass windows were in comparison simple.
Sevilla
This is actually day 3. This morning we went to the renowned cathedral. It is the second largest in Europe by size not height. It is built on the original site of a mosque. Our overall impression was of size and not quality. As a church it is too large and the art content is not so inspiring.
And Shaz in the courtyard:
Time in Marseille
Travelling to Marseille
We arrived at Saint Brieuc in good time but unfortunately the train did not. Due to either signaling failure or hitting an animal on the line, or both, the train was an hour late.
We missed our connection to Marseille by three minutes despite a rush through the metro. So we have spent a little more time at Gare de Lyon.
It’s cold
The wall is done
So now the re-pointing is finished. The mud between the stones has been replaced by beautiful lime mortar.
It took us 4 weeks each of work. So quite a substantial effort and a learning experience along the way as we learned and adapted the techniques for applying the mortar. The stones needed a good clean at the end and it was clear the applying and smoothing of the mortar improved as experience was gained.
Now will be the time to turn it into a better entertainment area and zone space. We will see.
