I love vacations....but they never seem quite long enough. At the end I'm always thinking, well, I could just be gone another week or two or three.....and then when I return home and to work, I think, I can't believe I thought I could take a vacation!! But, we do know that rest is good for the soul, and it was SO good!
We went to Hilton Head Island. I love that place. I love it because it is beautiful there, you can rent bikes and ride all over the place, and it's not too crowded.
Here is a picture from our room where we stayed. I LOVE this picture. I think I'd like to enlarge it and put it on a wall in my office. (I'm talking taking up the whole wall here!).
After a very restful, fun week at HHI, we drove to Atlanta to visit Joel's family. While we were there, we went to see the Hindu Temple. It is SO AMAZING. The detail inside is really something. The whole thing is put together without any nails. It is sort of like puzzle pieces that fit together. There are "gods" all over the place, and people come in and pay money so they can take part in a communion ceremony. I was sad as I saw all the different people coming in and laying on the floor to pray to and worship the statues of their "gods". It is very sad to know that these people believe that the statues will answer their prayers, and that they don't know the one true and living God. But, we can all learn from them about reverence and respect for their place of worship.
