Accidentally ended up in a cemetery again. 
Sort of.
I’d typed “Crystal Shrine Grotto” into my GPS, so I really had no idea that the world’s only man-made crystal cave lied in the middle of a cemetery. But it’s not a grave, it’s massive scale art. And on the National Register of Historic Places.
Dionicio Rodriguez created this diorama/geological marvel illustrating the life of Christ, from birth to resurrection, as well as the temple and oasis just outside of it. No photograph prepared me for how awestruck I (and nearly every equally unsuspecting soul who wandered in gasping behind me) would be. Hymns echoed softly throughout the cave from a hidden speaker, and for about an hour, I forgot I was just a few miles from downtown Memphis and took in this little slice of heaven on and under the earth.
where i wandered:
