Today we decided to go take a break and relax at the Monastry. You know, restoration. And where better to do so than some where remote, beautiful and silent? It was a stunning day, besides the raging winds and icy temperature (snow is expected just outside Grahamstown this weekend) nothing that couldn't be solved with a couple of blankets though, and we spoilt ourselves with cream cheese and crackers. It was retreat in every meaning of the word. The monastry was set up a few years back by 5 monks who came out from the US. We had the pleasure of meeting 2 of them today.
Originally created to keep my family up to date with the goings on of my life, it was soon replaced with the ever popular facebook. However, "Keeping up with Sweeks" has returned and has had a revamp.
