Part 2 of Attempt 2
Edinburgh Palace
(Rhona and Mhari. Rhona was much more excited about the swans behind the palace, than the palace itself)
(If you look closely, you'll see ears of corn outlining the window. These were carved 40 or 50 years before Columbus discovered America and their presence in the church gives question to whether or not Columbus was the first to discover America)
(Part of the ceiling...isn't it amazing?)
(We were able to catch Rhona just long enough to capture this kodak moment)

The DaVinci Code is one of my favorite books. So you can imagine my excitement when Martin, Mhari, Rhona, Catriona and I went to Rosslyn Chapel which plays a part in the book. We spent the afternoon deciphering codes, debating the symbolism and after lunch we uncovered the Holy Grail (that was a joke). In all honesty, the church is breath taking. It was built by masons over a period of 40 years. It was intended to be an additional 92 feet long but that dream ended when it's visionary died. The church is currently undergoing so restoration...so restore what they damaged on the last restoration attempt. Thus, I don't have too many pictures of the outside but here are a few of my favorite. You can look forward to seeing this church in the movie when it comes out in May.
