Today, I went to visit Kloster Fahr, the monastery of nuns near Zurich that is closely tied with Einsiedeln. After a tour, they served a lovely lunch for me and the Monk from Einsideln that I was travelling with. I had a nice visit with the Prioress and a long walk about the countryside with Brother Daniel (the monk I travelled with) before the Prioress took me back to the train station (Brother Daniel is staying on there for some "holiday".)
Being that this is the 24th Anniversary of my First Profession, and since I wasn't going to be here for the Community Mass, I concelebrated with one of the monks in the Lady Chapel at 6:15. Then to further mark the occasion, after Vespers I excused myself from supper in the Monastery and went into the town for supper. I sat outside and had a lovely ossobuco with homemade noodles and a glass of chianti. I was too full for chocolate or ice cream. Next year may be the actual Jubilee, but this will certainly be memorable.
I booked my hotel room in Krakow yesterday ... as usual, I checked out reviews on several websites before locking into anything. It's right across from the main train station, and 10-15 minutes' walk to the old city.
It occurs to me to start making a list of things I want to particularly remember (food-wise) for when I get to Indianapolis and start cooking again. I'm not sure the pineapple ring thing will be on the list though ...

You were remember today at Adoration.
Happy Profession Day!

Sounds like you had a nice memorable day...relaxing yet filled with excitement. Don't plan on making the pineapple thing when you come home but you should be making a "food diary" inorder to share the delicasies you encountered. Too bad we don't know where our relatives live in Poland-I'm sure there are cousins somewhere......
Happy Anniversary!
We now have a new brother, Brother Matthew.
I'm off to vacation in DC for a week.
Have fun in Poland!
