Bok Sanctuary Gardens and Acoustic Eidolon Concert 2/23
Posted by Fay on March 24, 2008
I added a couple photos to this earlier post.
Quite by accident I discovered a gem. About 45 minutes from us there is an incredible historic garden with carillon bells. They have some special events and one happened to be a concert on Sat. night with Acoustic Eidolon, a husband and wife couple that play a rich blend of Celtic, folk, bluegrass and Latin music with Joe playing a unique double-neck guitjo instrument and Hannah’s playing the cello. We also signed up for the pre event of hors d’oeuvres and wine. We had planned on going early to see the gardens and here the bells but it was raining so we will go to see that another day, probably when we go back to Cypress Gardens since they are only about 10 miles apart.
The concert was fantastic and we got a little preview of the bells and one small garden. WOW! Watch for photos when we return. The park is in the middle of an orange grove so it has a very calming drive in.
Since it was such an accident that we found this place Bob and I are both wondering why we have been brought here. We don’t believe these things happen to us by accident so there is a reason, we just don’t know it yet. We also know it may take years for the purpose to be revealed to us but for now we will just enjoy the experience of a beautiful adventure.
Side note: The couple that we sat with before the concert when they learned we were fom Minnesota, immediately commented that Minnesota also had clarrion bell towers. I am going to have to find out more about that when I get home.
