Mount Lavender Bakery and The ARK Encounter -- Monday, May 1, 2023

We saw a personal interest story about Mount Lavender Bakery on TV.  We just had to go there to have lunch.  I'm not sure why we didn't take pictures inside but everything was infused with lavender.  They had lavender flavored olive oil, vinegar, honey, teas, spices, and cookies.  The store was filled with interesting lavender items.  The lavender fields were a few miles away.



On our last day in the Louisville / Lexington area, we drove to the ARK Encounter.  It was fascinating.  This modern day ark is built according to the dimensions in the Bible.  Spanning 510 feet long (300 cubits long), 85 feet wide (50 cubits wide), and 51 feet high (30 cubits high), it is an amazing work of engineering.  NASA could lay three space shuttles - nose to tail - on the arks roof!  


We were impressed with the way it is thought that the animals were kept.  There was an ingenious method for feeding the animals and cleaning up their excrement.



12 Stones, representing the tribes of Israel, is a memorial to what God has done for them.
