Rome

I've never been to Rome.

The ancient city where the apostle Paul made his last stop. The Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Vatican. St. Paul's Basilica and the Sistene Chapel and loads of art. Trevi Fountain and the Catacombs.

Hawaii

I've never been to Hawaii.

A tropical paradise in the middle of a vast ocean. A place full of lush greenery and jutting volcanoes. A land with happy indigenous people. A land of beautiful flowers. A land of lucious tropical fruits. All waiting to greet me with "Aloha".

The Southern Andes

I've never been to the Andes Mountains.

Over 4000 miles of snow capped mountains rising up to 13,000 feet, looking out over a vast ocean. Apparantly, every year, some of the Incan people of the Southern Andes climb the mountain to greet the sun. They set out candles and say prayers of thanks for the coming snows. At times, there are even llama races!

Las Vegas

I've never been to Las Vegas.

An oasis in the desert. Sin city. The city that never sleeps. A place to go to blow a few bucks. A constant party going on. Shows and lights and continuous activity. A place to go and watch adults at their leisure. Maybe catch a few shotgun weddings.

Egypt

I've never been to Egypt.

An ancient land filled with many wonders of the world to see. Pyramids, desert sands, the Nile River, the Sphinx. A land that once held captive the nation of Israel. A land filled with exotic mystery. A land which has been led by the likes of Ramses, Cleopatra and Tutenkamen. A land steeped in antiquity, and yet still very much alive.

Alaska

I've never been to Alaska.

A rugged land filled with natural undisturbed beauty. A land filled with bears, and wolves, and moose and oceans filled with whales. A land where sleds could be considered a form of normal transportation. A land purchased as one man's folly. A land where eagles can still soar and rivers run free.

The Great Passion Play

I have never been to the Passion Play in Eureka Springs, AR.

Located near Branson, MO. the play runs from April through October. It depicts the last week of Christ's life including Palm Sunday, A Day at the Temple, The Last Supper, Trial, Death, Entombment and Resurrection. I cannot imagine the amount of work required to put on a show of such significance and the demands on the actors. The setting of the theater is an outdoor ampitheater built into a hillside of the Ozark Mountains. It seats over 4000 people and is roughly the size of two football fields.

Panama Canal

I have never been to the Panama Canal.

I did not realize the way the canal system through Panama works until just recently. The canal is made up of locks and gates. As a boat passes through one gate, the water fills up and the next gate is open. I hear they even have cruises going through the Panama Canal these days.
