The Abbey

We stayed at the same place we did three years ago.  We were on the third floor of the Lake House. 

I love walking out at the foot of the cathedral and feeling like an ant.  They were set up for a summer theater program and had a concert in the sanctuary. The programs were all in German, so I don't know what the productions were. We saw a scruffy-looking troup helping an actress into a harness for a rehearsal, so that might've been fun to see. I'm sure it was not Peter Pan, though, because Abbey guests are all older and contemplative. 
There was a group of special needs adults there for a retreat with their families. 
On a clear day you can see the snow capped peaks from the back terrace. We only saw a hint of them because of the haze. 
Inside detail of the cathedral. 
This is the celebrated 23-your old cat. She didn't seem that old: not stiff or creaky or in pain. She just moved slowly or not at all and everyone thought she was elegant. What we could all learn from a 23-year-old cat!
