Immaculate Heart Retreat House

Few photos I took with my cell phone during my second retreat at a Catholic convent situated mid way on a hill in one of Los Angeles’ up-scale residential neighborhoods.













 I spent a long hour at this chapel (below) in my first visit.


 
 





 





Every time when I passed by the pool to look for a quiet corner for solitude, I was tempted to dive into the water for a swim instead.




I fasted for my first retreat here. Despite the nice dinning place, the second time I brought with me only this simple lunch to last me through seven long hours up here.

EEEE the place is so nice!

Yah, besides coffee, cola is something I want to have. I had too much coffee that morning, so cola was the choice by default. By the way, this can was from home - only 28 cents he...he...
