Rosslyn Chapel and pizza

Today we got up early to go to a church service in the Rosslyn Chapel. Yes, the one and the same used in the DaVinci Code and the film was actually filmed there too.

The place was under renovation unfortunately. I bought a postcard of the exterior and the ceiling of the chapel. Another unfortunate event was that they banned photo taking because a year or two ago the church got sued because a person taking a photo tripped and toppled over an old lady. The old lady sued the church, so they banned photography.

The priest did let us take photos those but we had like 15 min to do so. The interior is just -so- beautiful. The marble carvings and the woodwork was to die for.

This was also the first church service that I've been to in like 10 years... it felt odd but familiar...

We also took a look at the grounds around the chapel and also the castle down the hill. There wasn't too much left but it was still interesting to see.

Later that day we all ordered pizzas and watched The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus and Braveheart. It was a lovely lazy day that we all really needed after running around and being busy all the time.
