After Thoughts on Reading the DaVinci Code

[elluminato]

I'd just completed Dan Brown's The DaVinci Code about an hour ago. The book's truely intriguing though I must admit my impatience while reading the book at the start.

My interest in this book fired up when I randomly picked up a book at Borders. Think it was something like 'Breaking the DaVinci Code'. It mentioned things like how people's faith

Excited over my up-coming trip to Europe

[elluminato]

The Holy Grail 'neath ancient Roslin waits.
The blade and chalice guarding o'er Her gates.
Adorned in masters' loving art, She lies.
She rests at last beneath the starry skies.

That's the final verse written in the papyrus in the black cryptex. And ingeniously, the final resting place isn't at Rosslyn Chapel but the ******. hehe..

I'll be visiting Europe in about 2 weeks, I wonder if I'd have the opportunity to feast my eyes upon the stuff mentioned in Dan Brown's novel. I'm particularly excited at the prospect of visiting the Lourve especially. This is truly a novel that you have to read before visiting Paris.

so you wanna go to the lourve? it's truly an amazing place. you can stay in there for hours and hours. something i'm not sure the 2 folks would like to do. the last time i was there, i only explored a quarter of the place. of coz, main attraction was the mona lisa which i failed to appreciate.

i'm back to reading the book. i doubt i can finish it 2 days though. :(

Visiting the Lourve

Lol.. have you heard? That most tours to the Lourve actually take you to see the 5 most famous paintings in the Lourve and then calling it a 'tour' there?

I guess most people will only look at the Mona Lisa since it's the most famous. I'd like to look at it of course. It's the original! And also to check if the Madonna on the Rocks is opposite it. The Original one of course, that was meant for a chapel but never made it cos of DaVinci's 'playfulness' and so lies in the Lourve.

Oh.. and the floor of the Grand Gallery? It's supposed to look fab!

If you get round Dan Brown's novel, I'd like to visit something mentioned in the book. Let me know when you're done with the book. Lol.. I don't want to spoil your fun! =p
