More Mateo: Photos

We got photos from Halloween, his first birthday party, and a trip to Florida. They’re on Flickr, but you need a to be a Friend or Family on Flickr to view them.

If you’re just one of the unwashed masses, the only photos you’ll be able to view are dogs and A/V geeks.

Church, Incense, and Math

This has to be right up Dave’s alley.

It’s a post that shows the Botafumeiro, a large thurible (very large), being swung. It’s so large people in the front row duck. It’s so large eight men have the job of swinging it. It’s so large it affects the tides.

What would happen if it hit someone? Chris works it out with some pen and paper.
