I may get to correct this, but the timing on some of the posts are screwed up, because image files did not upload properly. This is the first post of Sunday. We actually went to 9am mass at St. Michaels, a church about 3 blocks from our Condo. This is Santa Maria de Mer, which is one of the major churches her and is located in the Gothic Quarter.
San Miguel where we went to mass is a very simple church. Most interesting to us was the parishioners. They were all locals. What is so surprising is the area we are staying is seemingly dominated by tourists. The beach and marina are near by. Partying goes on all night (which I slept through, but not Karen) and it is a wonder that there locals living in the neighborhood. But there are. Many in fact as we observe our street and others around us.
Before church, we had a cafe' leche' at the corner cafe. Excellent. The coffee reminded me of the coffee we got in Italy, incredibly smooth. After church we go another coffee at another cafe', but it was no where near as good.
After that, we got into our walking gear and headed to the tourist info store to get passes for the Bus Touristic for tomorrow and a decent walking map (which we had none). On our way, we stopped at St. Mary's here and had a look. A beautiful Basillica, to be sure.
