I Went To Jesus Land And You Didn't.
I am back from Argentina, fresh off the plane actually and in need of a nap, but there is something that i just can't wait to tell you all about. Tierra Santa. It is the most magical place on earth. It makes Casa Bonita look like nothing. We are talking about tghe world's first religious theme park, located in the lovely Buenos Aires Argentina. Just look at it!
beauty. That's what that is. Pure beauty. Ignore the fact that it is at the end of the landing runway, the screaching of the jets overhead can almost be mistaken for heavenly choirs! It is all part of the experience.
My dad and i decided that we really only go into churches when we are in another country, on this trip we hadn't gone to any, but we figured that a trip to the Holy Land would about even it out. In actuality it bumped us down another circle or two in hell. That's right kids. As we waited with the thousand or so other people in line to get in, our excitment and evilness just couldn't be contained. We started thinking about all the different things a religious theme park could offer us! Would St. Peter be waiting at the gate to let us in?! (we were disappointed to find he wasn't! just some guy dressed as a Roman) Would there be a water to wine fountain?! (NO! and i think they are missing a huge oppertunity here.) But the following things were said over the course of the day:
Me: Holy shit! They have a water slide?!
Dad: No way!
Me: I totally want to go to heaven now! Oh wait, the water slide is next store. Nevermind.
Dad: Man, we should have come to this really stoned.
Me: heh. yeah...wait, that wouldn't work. Think of how hard it is not to laugh hysterically now, and all the mad looks we are getting. We would be kicked out in no time.
Me: So you want to hit the bar?
Dad: Yeah, I say this calls for heavy drinking. Do you think they have a Mary Magdalen tent?
Me: God I hope so! I have a whole pocket of 2pesos notes ready to go!
Dad: Did you notice we are the only ones with a beer?
Me: Thats because we are the only ones who think this is funny and have accepted that we are going to hell.
Dad: I'll save you a spot.
Dad: It's a good thing I'm not in college, I would totally be tripping acid right now.
then for 4 solid hours we managed not to get kicked out for laughing and take 32 amazing photos. Here are just a few of my favorites.
that Jesus is 40 feet tall and comes out of a mountian!!
Guys, if you are ever in Argentina, go to Tierra Santa. It is totally worth eternal damnation.

actually he is eating a chicken leg.
Oh, man. That rocks.
And I thought the Roman soldier was just doing a bored cough.
If my "In Japan, I saw the second biggest Buddha statue (Daibutsu)in the world and got to go INSIDE IT!" and your "I went to Agentina and had a blasty-blast at Jesus Land" got in a fight. . .
you would win.
