Teh pretty buildings

Today, without premeditation, a friend and I wound up taking a tour of religious structures in our city center. We were looking for someplace to eat the fancy pastries we'd just bought, and it was cold outside but very sunny on the steps of the Presbyterian church across the street from the bakery, so we sat there. The church is a really beautiful

Actually, that sounds like a wonderful day. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Along a similar line, I like to walk around cemeteries and read headstones. The older the better. It's amazing to see a whole family laid to rest together. It's also pretty amazing that in many cases, especially with older couples, the second spouse dies within a year or so after the first spouse passes. It's sad but romantic at the same time. I have not been to a cemetery to walk around in years though. It's more fun with a second person, and most people get a little creeped out by the idea. But they are usually very peaceful places, and a great way to relax.

I used to just chill out in cemeteries--walking around, as you said, or just lying there reading. After my grandma died I visited her grave all the time, even knowing she wasn't there--I remember doing homework there on more than one occasion. :)

It sounds like a lovely day!

I have to agree with mhmartini, too; it's been too long since the last time I walked through a cemetery and looked at the headstones.

Churches are just beautiful! I may not visit them when everyone else does, but I do love to sneak a peak at the outside or inside of Churches. Many of them fascinate me, and the older the better!

Also, I agree with mhmartini, cemeteries also hold a certain draw for me.
