Last weekend, Thomas and I went in search of a geocache by the Basilica. We didn’t find the cache, but we did find a great treasure at the top of the Basilica – a beautiful panoramic view. The church is gorgeous on the outside and also on the inside with large stain-glass windows and intricate naitivity scene displays. You can climb to the top – up by the large green dome in the middle – and walk around the outside. It was gorgeous. Another great find was in the park infront of the church – there were wild green parrots in the trees.
These are some of my favorite photos I took:
