Today, I went on a retreat to Saint Andrew's Abbey with the R.C.I.A. group from church. In the pouring rain, we all drove just over an hour to Valyermo and it was well worth it. Brother Cassian DiRocco was our host. He told us about the Abby, talk about the Eucharist and answered any questions we had. Before noon Mass, I had a wonderful time walking the grounds and taking snapshots. Mass was beautiful. (There's something about hearing singing monks.) After Mass, we all ate a delicious lunch served by the monks. Here are a few snapshots.
This full rainbow appeared an hour after we arrived.

This was taken on the way home.
