As you probably know by now I have been staying in a converted monastery. Well not all of the rooms were modernized for the training center. A few of the most sacred rooms were kept as they were hundreds of years ago. The two rooms that I am going to share were by far the most incredible of the facility.

First was the “Chapel Of The Mother Mary”. This room was incredible, it had gold leafing and frescos everywhere. The Second is the library. This room had so many incredibly rare books it was ridiculous.

Our tour guide who is one of the facilitators of the think tank has been working here for the last 20 years. This was only the 3rd time he was allowed to be in these rooms just to give you the significance of this event. I truly felt privileged to be allowed to go in these rooms. He later offered to give myself and Rich Miller (my partner in crime at work, he does the Flash work and I do the video) a separate tour from the rest of the group to get closer look at all of it by one of the Conservationist of all the rare items of the monastery. She also took us into some rooms that the others did not go into, it was sick!

Once again, click on the image to see more information about it, and to see a larger size. Enjoy!

I lied I guess I am going to show you three rooms.. kinda, this image was in one of the rare animal rooms.

This is a panorama of the ceiling fresco in the library, sorry the ends got a little scewed, I did it by hand, no tripod laying on my back.
