Here are a few pictures from this past weekend's retreat at the Abbey of the Genesee near Rochester, NY.

I read Henri Nouwen's book about his time at this Abbey over Christmas. Was the bread as good as the book said?

Oh, Bill, you have no idea how good.

The morning I left the abbey I loaded the car up with boxes of their bread to bring home.  The smell was intoxicating.  It stayed in the car for a few days.  It was like ether.  Comfort food heaven.

What did you think of Nouwen's journal?  I thought he was a little whiny but otherwise a good book.
