Vale of tears is a phrase based upon the Christian religion that refers to Earthly sorrows that are to be left behind when one enters heaven. "Vale" means a valley or a dale. The phrase comes from the prayer Salve Regina: "To you do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears." The expression hearkens to Psalm 23's reference to the valley of the shadow of death: the phrase implies that the wickedness of the world makes it dark and reprieve comes only from divine salvation

This is way beyond serious! I've now got the giggles and the hiccups....and Inks is sleeping so I'm trying to be quiet here.

Thanks. I haven't laughed this hard in a long, long time.

OT

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

The Lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want;

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters;

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the VALLEY

of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil;

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life;

and I shall dwell in the house of the

Lord forever.

Synonym for vale = valley

Thing is you can MAKE anything fit anywhere, if you try hard enough... But where does it easily fit? What clues relate to what it is in? Or what you can see from here?

I am getting the idea that this may in fact be a Swede clue,

Why don't we want to think it is there? Not big enough, no parking, it's scary, etc...

The setting seems oh so gloomy!

But be brave, you endless knave,

You'll find it really quite roomy.

On the other hand... is there a castle like looking scary hotel with a large basement anywhere?

I just cant imagine 1,000 people with kids at Swede.

The hills are so so steep and the little piece of land at the bottom half covered by open or running water.

Also where is the sports of all sorts... beasts exposed?

That's the part that keeps me away from there.

There is something we're either missing or not thinking of somewhere.

Things not yet mentioned in the clues:

Picnic area

Mentioned:

beasts, knaves, water, ice, possible playground items (fun and frolic,

valley, dale, box, contests of yore, mysterious history, harbor of arbor, detention and the RNC, Palin, sports, bower, colic, being brave, vale,

Such a weird combination of information.
