    It reminds me of a Spanish or Italian tower. It is beautiful. I am glad he also discovered America.

    I so enjoy looking at towers, imagining all the labor that went into building them.

    I remember my dad saying, when we visited the tower in Bristol, "When someone asks me now if I have ever been to Cabot Tower I can say, which one?" That was in 1978.
