  1. This was a great morning! Our Dominican tour guide was hilarious and informative. Every single chapel and bit of artwork was beautiful. I was very glad that we got to tour the whole place. The Stations of the Cross with all of the Polish saints painted into the background was fascinating.

    Shopping for icons was also great. I was able to pick up a beautiful icon for my parents to put in our new house!
