Chapter 35 Update and Sneak Peek

I wanted to let you know that there won't be a chapter posting today.  Sorry.  I just finished the first draft yesterday.  There's still work to be done on it before it will be ready to post next Thursday.

In the meantime, AgentInWaiting was kind enough to beta the first couple of pages so we could whet your appetite.  You can read it after the break.

Never Let You Go Again

No pictures to share this time, just the song at the end of the chapter.  Yes, I'm a sap.  Sue me.

If that doesn't work, try this:

Never Let You Go Again

I've only uploaded one minute of the song due to copyright rules.

Strahovská knihovna - Strahov Library

The Strahovský klášter, or Strahov Monastery is the gift that keeps on giving.  One of the major attractions of the monastery is the library.  I didn't go into a lot of detail about the two main rooms in the library since the characters weren't able to spend much time looking at them.  However, they are breathtaking in their beauty.



This is Philosophical Hall, the first room they looked into.



Theological Hall.  You have no idea how much I want to visit this place.



And the guy that Agent Barstow shoved.

A couple of other pictures to share.

Strahovský klášter

Yes, there really is a Strahovský klášter, or Strahov Monastery, and no I didn't know about it when I started this story.  I didn't even know about it when I started researching Prague.  And then, there it was, just waiting for me to find it.  To be honest, I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the name.  It was like a gift from above.

Here are some exterior pictures.  I'll reveal more information about the monastery in next week's chapter when I'll share more pictures.











Also, for those of you who are interested in the scene from The Magic Flute where Papageno and Papagena sing their awesome and wonderful duet, this is the video to watch.
