Put this place somewhere near the top. Architecturally, it is stunning, especially on a sunny day! But even on a cloudy day, it is eye popping to see it and imagine what had to be done to build it. Inside, it is taking a giant leap backward in time. And watching the tide move to cover over the sand and dirt boggles your mind.

So make a note to yourself that this is a really cool place to see and experience!
