A stroll in the park of a Benedictine Abbey

 In 2014 a group of friends travelled to Rome to visit the Vatican and give a present to the late Pope Francis. It was a very special atmosphere being in Rome and as a group, as well. It was outstandingly peaceful.

Since then we meet as often as we can and last saturday we finally met again.

Just enjoy the impressions of a perfect day in spring, a perfect sky and perfect sweets :-)))

 

The entrance to the church dedicated to Christ the King, marked with a huge door named the Portal to Paradise

 
Entrance to the shop where you can buy things manufactured in the Abbey
 
Entrance to the parc

 In an area located a little further backpart of the parc the monks create a new herb and vegetable garden
 

 

 After this long walk we met at the cafe and ended the visit with many memories of our trip to Rome
