The Chapel Along I-80

If you have ever taken a road trip across America -- you probably spent some time on Interstate-80. It goes from New Jersey all the way to California, and it cuts clean across the State of Iowa.

When you cross over into Nebraska...if you look to your left -- high on the hill -- you can't miss this...

The Holy Family Shrine in Gretna, Nebraska

Right after eating lunch, Linda P. and I left Lincoln to drive ALL ACROSS THE STATE OF IOWA...

We planned to make one important stop on the way home...

We parked the car and walked through some prairie-landscaping to this nondescript door...

Inside, thee was an incredible metal sculpture hanging from a skylight.

Water was dripping off the tip -- into the pool below

The water seemed to be flowing into this small rocky river...

Which flowed outside of the reception building -- into the open Prairie -- right into the Chapel...

HOLY FAMILY SHRINE!!
