I fell in love with Saint Augustine, Florida, the first time I visited it. Of all the places I have seen in life, this is the one I would call a “Paradise on Earth”. On January 02, 2014, a day before leaving Florida for Oregon, I visited this historical city again with my American family. And my visit was special because both my family members were with me, but also because for the very first time I stepped inside a church – to be precise, a cathedral.
Shared below are some glimpses from the moments spent inside the The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine (Official). Interested readers can follow the cathedral’s updates on its Facebook Page.

Beautiful, that’s all I have to say.
Nice
