8-17-11 Scottish Rite Masonic Temple

Today the NA22 folks had a lunch for me. Jan Cerveny gave me my clock and certificate. I said my thanks. The end is near.

After the lunch, Sue and I went to see one of the more intriguing sites in DC - the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple. This is the place that featured in the final scenes of Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. It is a fascinating place. The interior was set up like the Washington Masonic Memorial in Alexandria, at least on the first floor. But this place had a large magnificent meeting room for the gatherings. The table in the center of the room that figured so crucially in the book, was covered with religious books from around the world. Overhead was the skylight talked about in the book. It was a very interesting visit and one I am glad we did before we left town.
