I spent the past two weeks travelling throughout New England: I spent two days
in New Hampshire hiking the White Mountains and Flume Gorge, got to spend a day
sailing with a friend, and I hit up New Bedford’s whaling museum. Here’s a few
photos I took from the trip:
This was my first time in a monastery — I really enjoyed it.
The church and monastery grounds were beautiful, and the services were prayerful and somber.
Although we missed the myrrh-streaming Holy Theotokos Iveron Icon, the analogion it had rested on was thoroughly soaked with extremely fragrant myrrh and we had the blessing of venerating that.
My family and I flew up to Bozeman for my sister’s graduation last week.
I got to spend some time innawoods at our cabin and I also visited the local OCA parish.
There’s also a wonderful monastery in Harrison that’s tightly knit with the surrounding parishes, but unfortunately I didn’t get an opportunity to visit.
Given the time of year, the weather was outstanding — it hit 80 degrees despite snowing nearly two weeks ago!
We also got to spend some time in yellowstone.
It’s always great, but this time I had my iPhone’s 48MP camera with me.
The photos are pretty spectacular.
