Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth is an astounding work of about a thousand pages. It is about the building of a cathedral in medieval Europe. It was the Flippers’ book for our October bookdiscussion.
Last Saturday, October 23, 2010, we started the day with our pre-activity — a tour of the Basilica de San Sebastian. The 2-hour tour gave us a breathtaking view of beautifully designed church and also lent visuals to the text we just read. I’ll let the slide show tell the story.
After the tour, we headed to SM Manila for lunch at Shakey’s. Then we hopped over to Caffe Ti Amo for gelatos and the book discussion. There’s a slide show for that as well.
Sorry, I’m still figuring out how to organize my photos on Flickr, so I can’t use the gadget function to post the slide show directly on this blog. I’m going to figure that out sometime this century. Promise. In the meantime, just follow the links:
