These coming two weeks I am on this awesome adventure alone. Although the first 18 days of my journey were spent with family and friends, I look forward to doing what I want to do. Much of my checklist is not the popular touristy attractions and now I will be able to spend as much time as I desire at each stop. However, I do realize how fortunate I was to share so many beautiful sights and make wonderful memories with the people that I am closest to, especially my mom. I am completely aware that many people no longer have their mothers or will never have the opportunity to have this magnificent experience with them. I am truly blessed and thankful.

April 4th New Camaldoli Hermitage
*New Camaldoli Hermitage is a rural Camaldolese Benedictine hermitage in the Santa
Lucia Mountains in Big Sur. The Hermitage
was founded in 1958 by two monks from the motherhouse in Camaldoli in
Tuscany, who had spent two years searching for a site that combined solitude
and natural beauty. It is located at an altitude of approximately 1,300 feet,
and is approached by a winding road that is nearly two miles long, which gives
the visitor a clear view of the landscape and Pacific coastline.
A dozen monks live and work at the hermitage. Each
monk lives in a small cottage, The life of a Camaldolese monk centers on the
seeking union with God following the dictates of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in
union with the Catholic Church, through the ancient but ever new monastic
heritage of Saint Benedict as enriched by Saint Romuald. This life radiates
outward in various rhythms, involving him in solitude and community, silence
and fraternal encounter, prayer and work, study and recreation. He is dedicated
to the love and praise of God in the bond of fraternal charity.

Hiked the Calli Lily Valley in Garrapata Park
The small valley will be filled with tons of blooming
calla lilies! It’s a hike down through patches of wildflowers until
you come face-to-face with a beautiful little valley filled with Calli Lilies and
a creek that flows into the ocean.
