Alachua

Sleep had fled from my eyes, and Atala was in my heart like the remembrance of the resting place of my fathers.

On the seventeenth day of our march, about the time when the ephemeron rises from the waters, we entered upon the grand savanna of Alachua.

the plain is surrounded with hills which receding behind one another are covered as they appear to touch the clouds with ranges of forests of palm trees citron trees magnolias and oaks the chief uttered the cry of arrival and the troop encamped at the foot of a hillside I was left at some distance, on the border of one of those natural wells so famous in the Floridas, attached to the trunk of a tree, and guarded by a warrior who watched me with impatience.

I had passed but some moments in this place when Atala appeared beneath the liquid ambers of the fountain.

Okay.

And then when you guys We're driving around after you put the tote in, after she put the tote in the room, you guys are driving around and driving around Alachua and Valerie says, this is what we can say.

You come in with that story.

Then you bring her back to her car at your house in La Crosse so she can get her car.

Can you tell us how you got

there? She come up from by her own.

Her handiwork store in Alachua.

And

And finally, when I went to see my teacher, Michael A.

Singer at his temple of the universe in Alachua, Florida, where anybody's welcome, any religion, any background, any creed, you could, you welcome Hitler there.

Yeah.

And I felt the energy from this man.

I mean, we're in the greater central Florida, but we've been down to, you know, just north of Tampa, Stewart.

We've done a lot of dirt work in Stewart area, north Vero and stuff, all the way up to St. Augustine and on the west side, you know, from Alachua south.

Actually, a couple years ago, we went up to Charleston and we did a big commercial facility up there in Charleston.

Oh, awesome.
