Where abouts? I can't afford to travel, but somehow it keeps happening. I don't know how or why, but I do love it. Convent was a great experience - and I do wish I would have explored it more (although as I said, there were so many winding stairways, rooms and corridors that I was afraid of getting lost). There was a lovely ancient walled garden in the back, with a wisteria vine with a trunk the size of a palm tree trunk... I highly recommend staying there.tsduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457805824149563737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13500763.post-57667275198033376522007-06-20T19:35:00.000-07:002007-06-20T19:35:00.000-07:00Doug - well said.

I do believe it was the best experience... as it was my only one :-) Ah, the hallway never taken... the tub never used...<BR/><BR/>Autumn - Of course it had nothing to do with her nationality... it just reminded me of Hyacinthe in "Keeping Up Appearances..." :)<BR/><BR/>Tee hee Jillie - better than two of yours! Yes yes, hurry hurry and post about Irelend!<BR/><BR/>TC - Glad you found humor in it... I can too... NOW! How's that cold? Remember what I told you about the brandy ;-)<BR/><BR/>Keshi - me too. I adore frescos, and this one was really simple but pretty. The ceiling was way up high.<BR/><BR/>Weatherchazer - Hell Marys? Ha ha - I was so upset I didn't do anything but run. I don't do those - LOL!! (nor Hail Mary's either)<BR/><BR/>JJ - she didn't even HAVE a bidet in her little cubbyhole WC. Erma was one of my heros... I'm so honored that you said that.<BR/><BR/>Actually, there were 5 of us traveling together for the first 8 days - our buddy from Eureka (78 year old) and his 18 year old grandson, and G's daughter came over from London. Quite a crowd.<BR/><BR/>Julie - if I was the British lady, I wouldn't have had a cow, that's for sure! I'm surprised more people weren't wandering about...there were 26 rooms in that convent and I know for a fact I wasn't the only un-entitled one to use that lavatory LOL! It WAS funny, I admit.<BR/><BR/>Lisa - he kills everybody... with great glee and wit.
