Every time we travel West on I8 a lovely little chapel high on a hill has caught my eye. We decided to check it out this past weekend and discovered quite an unusual and unique little place.
Years ago, a man named Jacques-André Istel bought a couple thousand acres of desert wilderness and named the location Felicity. Over the years, he has added a number of intriguing items to this place. The main attraction is a pyramid which has been proclaimed the "center of the world" Beyond the pyramid, a series of granite structures document the history of the world. And beyond these, on a huge man-made hill sits a the chapel overlooking it all. Other attractions include a section of the original Eiffel Tower staircase and a replica of the arm of God from Michelangelo's famous painting in the Sistine Chapel that serves as a sun dial.
