OK, I know I said that there was going to be a long blog post, but this isn't it. As it turns out, the post was getting far too long to be put on the blog (at least I think it is), so I decided that it will become an installment in the Reflections section of my web site. When it's ready, I'll post a notice here.
To make up for it, here are more pictures from Monterey. Another Carmel beach shot:
This seagull was oblivious to the activity going on around him...
Back to the mission, here's a picture of the basilica from the front...
...and from the side.
