Thunderous peace
The Abbey is a place of joyous peace and silence. The monks live an examplary life, but they know and understand the real world. A week there can be life changing. All faiths are welcome, the Abbey has quarters for those who wish to make a retreat. The giftshop/bookstore is also excellent for all sorts of books, audio, video and items from the Abbey and other monasteries. Ah, and the Bourbon Fudge, Cheese, and Fruitcakes........well, God bless those monks.
