Dearest friend Ding. I enjoyed very much your album of this wonderful Basilic. It was also very interesting to read the story and restoring after the horrible fire. It became again a rare jewel.

Dear Ding, The St Augustine Cathedral is a treasure trove of beautiful stained glass window art, tile work and sculpture pieces. Indeed this is such a wonderful feast for the eyes coupled with a wondrous sense of long history that dates back to the 16th century! I cannot help but draw a parallel of this church with our Philippine cathedrals that date back to the same 16th century when Spanish colonization was at its zenith. And I do believe that Florida at one point in its early history was a colony of Spain, as was my country, the Philippines. Thank you so much, Ding, for sharing this album. For all its historical value and the architectural similarities with Philippine churches - I have been enriched! ~~~Mary Ann
