Elvis and his mom finally made it to the Monastery

After so much postponements from his scheduled flights with his mom to the USA to the point that he missed the occasion of my Solemn Vows in August 15th, finally, Elvis made it and be able to drop a two-day stop over to the monastery. He and his mom arrived in Sept 28th in New Mexico from a short stay at Oakland, and i had to pick them up from Albuquerque airport with another monk brother, Dom Rodrigo. They left the Monastery in the 30th of September and proceeded to New Jersey to visit his niece Hersey who is currently taking her Masteral studies in one of the state's universities.
Here's an account in images of their two-day visit to my community.
Our first station from Albuquerque airport was a ride in Tram up the Sandia Peak at Tramway, Albuquerque.


At the monastery, the next day- tour around the Cloister, to my room, to the Refectory, to the Phase three, meeting with the Abbot Superior, to the Abbey Church, on the landscapes around the monastery property, and to the guesthouse:


Later in the day, our Benedictine Oblate Brother Carlo came up from after his work as Lab tech in Espanyola Hospital to join Elvis and his mom continue with their tour of the monastery....
