Georgios,

               Thanks again for another wonderful thread. Not only do I enjoy learning of other cultures and how they celebrate holidays similar to our own, but the architecture almost always seems to overwhelm me to no end. And I especially loved the structures atop Meteora, but seeing Konstantinople's building last almost 1500 years (less than 25 years short, to be exact), really took me.

              This morning I went to Church and took communion for the first time in over 25 years or more (I lost count, actually). This church was no where near what is in Europe, but I was very pleased to find they not only have a pipe organ but also play it every Sunday. I have a new home.

              I won't say how this plays out against my earthly pagan beliefs, but that's "MY" religion, and I'm sticking to it. Anyway, keep up the good work, as always.

Your Friend Always,
