This was unfortunately the best view I could get of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests since this, like significant parts of every other monument I visited this week, was closed for refurbishment :((

Dean is trying to find the echo stones - supposedly you get one echo on one stone, two echoes on another, and three on a third. We couldn't find it.

This looked delightfully Harry-Potteresque! A little earlier I had seen a sign for the 'Bureau of Divine Music'. Surely a department of the Ministry of Magic, no ?
