We went to visit the Saint Laurent archaeological museum. Grenoble, one way or another, has been around since the second century. Our history is grand and rich. Lucky for us most museums are free! The site we went to yesterday has layers of bones, some have been there since the fourth century!
Here is the Wiki page, you can translate it in English by right clicking...most of it makes sense ;-)
Here is what all we saw.
(remember, 1st shots with new camera, be kind in your judgement)
 |
| skeletons everywhere, even under our feet |
 |
| on entry way built on top of an older one |
 |
| tomb stones recycled to build walls (this dude died in the 5th century) |
 |
| family tombstone |
 |
| ceiling of the chapel |
 |
| Saint Laurent was asked by the Roman Emperor to bring The Church's riches. Saint Laurent came back to them with the poor, saying it was them who made The Church rich. In response they burnt him on a metal grill. it's a chilling painting to see up close |
 |
| one of the 19 layers of bones |
 |
| I liked seeing life next to this person's remains |
 |
| incredible details |
 |
| look at the wear on these steps, how many hundreds of the faithful have gone up and down these stairs |
pretty excited to learn all about this camera, yet sill totally heart broken at the loss of my old one...
thanks for all you do to make me happy my love.
