Madhudvisa had arranged for a tour of the beachside church property. In the morning, after breakfast, the devotees accompanied Srila Prabhupada there and were shown around by a real estate agent and some elderly nuns. The devotees noticed how Prabhupada respectfully held his palms together before the elaborate stained glass windows of the chapel, asking the nuns innocently: "Is this Jesus?" "Is this Mary?" And when Prabhupada reached the altar area, he bowed his head reverently.

On returning to the car after the short tour, Prabhupada made his intentions clear. "We should get that place -- offer them one million dollars."
