This Friday Family Fun Day, we're going local again to the Duke Chapel.
Going to the Duke Chapel is like stepping into another time and another world. This entire area of the Duke University Campus is built European style. They don't build them like this anymore, folks. We have not been in a while, but anytime is a good time to see this amazing architectural masterpiece.
The attention to every detail is absolutely amazing, not just at the chapel, but in the surrounding buildings as well. You could spend hours looking at even the smallest details, because they are so very prevalent throughout this area of campus. I will talk another time about the Sarah P Duke Gardens, which are literally right next door. You truly need a full day to appreciate them both if seeing both the same day. That is the wonderful thing about living near there, you can break it up and take it all in at different times.
If you ever get a chance to hear any kind of music in the chapel, it is simply amazing. One tip, there are many weddings there, so if you are really wanting to see the inside of the chapel, and your aren't from the area, you may want to find out their schedule so you can adjust yours accordingly.
Writing about it is making me long to get back there, as well as the gardens. Being an Architectural Engineering major, I truly appreciate every little detail about all the buildings on this part of campus. These small pictures do not bring this building and those around it justice, you must experience this for yourself!
The weather is supposed to be spectacular this weekend, so whatever you do, try to get out and get some fresh air! Big plans for you? Let me hear from you some of your favorite spots.
Until next Friday Family Fun Day,
