Yesterday we drove over two hours to the Norbertine Monastery near Tehachapi, CA. Number SIx was "aspirant" for one day as she spent the day inside the cloister. Oskar and Nicole Chomicki came with their cute kids to see us and visit the monastery as well. We were able to join them for mass and Midday prayer, were hosted in the guest house where they served us delicious food. They also showed us around some of the property including their dog breeding program. We could not tour the cloistered buildings or gardens but Number Six told us about them later.

| The chapel for lay people ad visitors is small, there is a window through which we can see some fo the mass and sisters, and receive communion. |
 |
| The sisters took this photo--it was at the guest house parlor after mass. The sisters answered many of our questions and Number Six tried on the simple veil for the first time. |
