But I can at least feel good about the fact that historically they gave so many artists and artisans gainful employment and the opportunity to create brilliant works.

The Expulsion was a giant money grab by that horrid woman and her husband. I found it all I could do to not spit on their graves in Grenada. Wonderful to see that, if they can't be houses of worship, they are at least houses of memory.<br />Willymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652532356102638621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-46501655338323185832016-05-19T00:11:15.090+02:002016-05-19T00:11:15.090+02:00Those arches glow !
