Yesterday (Friday), a few of my new friends and I went to the small city of Roslin, about 8 miles outside of Edinburgh, and saw the Rosslyn Chapel. You may have heard of this before because it has a ton of connections to the Free Masons, the Knights Templar, and even the Holy Grail. It’s probably most famous for it’s inclusion in The DaVinci Code<\/em> (and was actually featured at the end of the DaVinci movie).

It will be very hard to choose which things I want to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
