Sunday morning

Found myself with some time between Mass and Midday Prayer, so I came out for a walk to the i-net cafe.

Spent yesterday afternoon with our Father Ephrem, who is here in Munich working in a parish for the summer. (During the year he teaches at Sant' Anselmo in Rome). He showed me around the old city before we went over to his parish for the evening Mass and a light supper. Among other things, he introduced me to the subway system, and gave me some general pointers about getting around. The Monastery is very well located with regard to getting around (there's a subway station at the end of the block) and the city center is a short walk.

The weather here is beautiful ... we had a few clouds yesterday, but with a nice breeze. I have yet to get the camera out, but will begin taking pictures soon.

Looking forward to starting school tomorrow, and finding out precisely what my schedule will be.

Shifting gears from a life-pace of multiple responsibilities and activities to one of no real responsibilites and little activity except the basic Monastery schedule does not come easy for me, but I'm working (reflex choice of word) on it. So, perhaps a nice nap this afternoon...
