We did, did you?


It took some persistance, but we got the ballot and it has
been sent. We feel very global, living in one place and

Monastery wildflowers


17th century Bielany Monastery,
atop Silver Mountain. Cameldolite monks live
here, secluded from the world.
Only having contact with each other during
prayer, and eating together maybe five
times a year. Women may enter the church
a dozen days, while men tourists
are allowed in during specific times daily.
