Father Joe took,us on a tour of the Church on their property.  It is an amazing building with a dome.  The church is an oval shape and all the walls are stained glass windows depicting the life of St. Francis.  The church was built between 1964-68 but looks as modern as if it were built this year.  The altar is a slab of black marble resting on 4 kneeling angel’s wings.  It is an amazing piece of architecture and absolutely beautiful.  I think,it is one of the most beautiful contemporary churches I’ve ever been in.  Later, we went to town and to the Cathedral of Palma.  It too is amazing…baroque and Gothic and contemporary…all blended together.  The Barcelona artist, Gaudi did the high altar and was unable to finish it.  But the cardboard prototypes of his plan are still in place.  They are circular lights around the altar.  We walked around town and looked at Mallorcan pearls in every window.  Too many choices.  

That evening, we went to dinner at a Grill. We had baby lamb chops and more of the peppers and the wonderful mayonnaise. These people know how to cook!  Absolutely delicious.  Back to the convent for a good night’s sleep…disturbed only by drunk Germans singing on the beach all night.  Fortunately, they are far enough away to sound good.  Tomorrow, we do a road trip…stay tuned.
