3800 St. Johns Bluff Road South, Jacksonville, Florida.

The Morocco Shrine Center is the location of a wide range of events: Car Shows, Annual Rock Shows of the Gem & Mineral Societies, and other things. On 9/22/07, my husband, Tommy, and I attended the 19th Annual Rock Show sponsored by the Jacksonville Gem & Mineral Society. Vendors were present from far and wide exhibiting and selling their gems, rocks, and jewelry. I learned a lot, and the hotdog I was craving was great too. Check out the Morocco Shrine Center's website for more events: http://www.moroccoshrine.org/. Admission to this event was only $3.00 per person. The hotdog was $2.00 and a bottle of water was $1.00. Not bad for food at any event

Flags are by the entrance to the Morocco Temple.

More to Do:

Another place to see closeby is University of North Florida. There are hiking trails open to the public on campus grounds, which will be another day trip for Tommy and I  later on. Jacksonville Beach is about 7 miles from here. Downtown Jacksonville is about 8 miles in the other direction. In Downtown Jacksonville, you can walk along the Riverwalk on the south bank for free and stroll around The Landing for free too ...except for what you decide to buy!!!
