Monday, 20th August '12 - The Cathedral
After seeing the Alhambra, I trekked on over to the Cathedral. It was closed. AGAIN. But only because of the siesta, so I whiled away an hour and a half at the hostel and then went back and finally, finally got to go inside.
I didn't really have any expectations and I think, because of this, I was astounded by the inside. It was gaudy rococo insanity! Super epic shit. I think it's amazing to look at this stuff, but everytime I do, it makes me angry inside thinking about how the catholic church does everything it can to help eliminate poverty and feed the hungry. Etc. And by that, I mean, they spent their money instead on elaborate cathedrals, where every available surface is gilded with gold and shit. I mean, for reals bro? For reals?
All that pious, helping the poor garbage, I call bullshit.
