Between January 17-24, my sister, Barbara, and I explored ancient lands - ones that reflect a bygone era. Our first ocean cruise, we treated ourselves to the very best - a balcony that gave us a ringside seat for sunrises, sunsets and the beautiful expanse of ocean that seemingly stretched on forever.
"Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me, are about the Lamanites in ancient history - long ago their fathers came from far across the sea, given this land, if they live righteously!" What an incredible experience winding our way through a maze of waterways to reach these temples that in certain places rose far above the jungle's canopy. All the while, we were surrounded by the dripping heat of the day, the bantering of monkeys overhead, as we invaded their turf. An incredible story that this land leaves behind, one that is full of mystery, yet at the same time, rich with many clues as to the people and the culture.
