end of the hall


 lost at the athenaeum, i found classrooms.  i texted my husband, "i'm here.", "come in.", "in."  no response.  me: "by the library".  him:  "other end of the building."
 down the hall.  the light was really beautiful and dramatic.
 the end of the hall opened into a room with a very high vaulted ceiling.
 the room was a warm color, and classical art hung on the walls.  
someone entering through the door above genuflected and i turned - ah!  i was in the entry to the church.  
   i texted my spouse, "where are you?  i'm at the other end."  "outside."  
so i went outside to the celebration, and later we took a guided tour.  in addition to the large church, they have this
 small chapel, which has stars above and some
lovely mosaics.  
joy to you.

  3. [smile] I love reading the text messages between you and your husband.
    The church is gorgeous. I have to say that I really do love a beautiful church. When I lived on the East Coast, where there seemed to be an old church every few blocks, I would walk in just to look at the breathtaking architecture, stained glass, and soaring ceilings. It would make me instantly feel calm.
