I get a little homesick...

My stunod neighbor aside...I really like it here in Forest. But it isn't Philly. Sometimes I miss my hometown. I love the scenery here, especially the Blue Ridge Mountains. But you know what they don't have here that I really miss? Cathedrals. There are precious few Catholic churches here to begin with, but the ones they do have, are all plain, sort of antebellum buildings. Back home, we have three-story Cathedrals where the only thing that isn't marble are the pews.
Here are a few pictures of one of my favorite old cathedrals...St. Anthony's...

Trust me when I tell you...there's nothing like this around here. And that makes me a little homesick.
