                                                              the city

                                                     Christ the Redeemer
                                                        symbol of peace
                                                           causes hearts
                                                              to bow

I've always loved that statue. Christ looking over the city, arms raised in the sign of benediction. Wonderful to see your ninette win today, Wendy! Congratulations ~ John

Thanks for 'popping by to encourage me Arturo'. I wonder if there'll be a 'Wendette' one day!
