An outing at the monastery

Way out in the desert, in the middle of what feels like nowhere, taking many dirt roads to get there, stands a beautiful new monastery, called the Lady of Solitude.  The nuns that live there are called the Desert Nuns. 
We decided to go for a visit and see what it was all about.

It was built in 2010 and we wondered at the expense.
A young nun from California unlocked the chapel for us so we could go inside.


It was lovely and the stained glass windows were beautiful.

So there you go, you may never know what you will find out in the middle of the desert.
