GOD

yes i am lucky to be alive..

Palma is centered around the most amazing Cathedral, made of golden sandstone in majestic proportions, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, essentially in a Gothic style, gargoyles and ecclesiastical figurines watching you from every angle. And apparently all this only took 500 years to complete. And of course Antoni Gaudi had his hand at it from 1904 - 1914.

It's a place that is hard to avoid! So being the Church goer I am, I dragged Pee along to Sunday Mass. We flocked there to the sound of the Bells in our Sunday Best (jandles, shorts and singlet)

Whoa were we taken back..... the circular strained window flooding the space with glowing yellow, red, blue and green. intricate craftsmen ship beyond belief. the sound of the choir floating to very corner.  it could almost turn you religious .

we settled in, mumbled some Amen's, absorbed ourselves in all that is strange and beautiful.
And that's when it happened, from nowhere. shooting up from the ground, floating down from the heavens.... the bloody Organ started up, like a hot knife through butter it cut through my "moment" and what did i do... cursed the good Lord himself, not just a lill' either, eek! I think my exacted words where...."Jesus F!#ken Christ".  
OMG what a dick and then of course i got the giggles. paul ducked for cover!

We headed straight to the beach to drown my sins!

but u would not believe what happened Monday....... moments after signing my contract, the captain said "welcome to Hell"...... What!

Luckily for the Captain the next conversation was about taking the crew to 'Rick Stein famous' restaurant up in the hills to eat Lamb Braised in Beer. YUM!
