HOLY LAND EXPERIENCE

Last summer while in Florida, we decided to visit

the Holy Land Experience in Orlando. We were

very skeptical that it would be "worth it", but we

were very pleasantly surprised! It was beautifully done!

It was a gorgeous day and periodically through the day

there were live plays on the grounds. These were

done by some very talented people who were not only

good actors, but they all had fabulous singing voices.

We saw about four plays while we were there. Seeing

the whole place and eating lunch takes a whole day.

They close at five, so we actually did not quite see

everything. (Possibly because we spent a lot of time

in the wonderful book store that is on the grounds.)

The grounds were just beautifully landscaped,

and we ate our lunch outside. There are many

buildings on the grounds. There are several presentations

besides the plays. We saw an interesting presentation on

the tabernacle. (Very well done and informative!)

One of the most interesting buildings that we visited

housed a scale model of Jerusalem during the time of

Christ. It took up half of a large room. There was a

presentation by a man who told about some of the

buildings and some interesting facts about the city.

We had a great day there, everything there was very

God honoring and I highly recommend it as a good place

to visit. (The book store is to die for!) I thought this would

be a good day to write about this since it is about 20 degrees 

in Michigan today and supposed to snow AGAIN! I miss

Florida!

Cost: $30. per person and $5. to park
