Capela dos Ossos - Chapel of Bones

"Nos ossos que aqui estamos, pelos vossos esperamos."

"Our bones that are here are waiting for yours."

--Inscription above the Capela dos Ossos in Evora, Portugal

Riiiiight... annnnnnnyway.  Today I went to the Capela dos Ossos, or Chapel of Bones, in Evora.  It is, as the name would imply, a chapel constructed of bones, presumably as an ancient Halloween prank gone awry.  It is simultaneously awe-inspiring and nauseating, which means that genuflecting in front of the chapel could have served a dual purpose in the days when the chapel was still in use. 

Just got kicked off... more tomorrow.
