Before we made our way home, we made sure to stop at two more important sights. The plan was to stop at St. Michael’s Cathedral and town hall. The cathedral was absolutely stunning. The size and intricacies of the architecture were just overwhelming, and it was not too crowded as Sunday mass had already let out. Below the cathedral were also the remainders of old ruins, which added something very interesting to what seemed like a very stereotypical older European cathedral on the inside (although nonetheless beautiful). After going to city hall, we were told that it was closed and the website had misinformed us of the dates, so we went to the Erasmus house. The house actually belonged to a friend of his, and he spent his summers there. The paintings and architecture of the house were beautiful, but the garden was a bit depressing because all the plants had not grown in yet. The groundskeeper said that by summer, it would look beautiful. However, the potential was very much visible to us. After, we hopped back to the hotel, got on the bus, and went home after a long but extremely informative and enjoyable trip.
