Prabhupada's Palace of Gold and City of God The hubby and I went on a whim. Definitely a great place to visit. The grounds were beautiful but so very quiet, very peaceful. We had a guided tour by a monk on the Palace. Then a quarter mile down the road is the commune where the people live in this community, as well having a beautiful temple.
We ate in the cafeteria. We had no clue what we ate, but it was good. [Tammy Blevins, 08/29/2010]
