Las Ruinas de las capuchinas - photos

(main entrance to the convent)



(this is the only photo we have right now of this INCREDIBLE room that, apparently, is the only structure like this in the world. SOD people will remember this- in the middle of this outside "room" is a nail. but not just any nail. if you stand on this nail and speak you will hear an echo in your head- sort of like you are talking into a microphone....BUT YOU are the only one who can hear this echo. no one else can. it is only if your own head. VERY cool and odd at the same time. Tom,Suzannah, and David were all a little skeptical when i told them about it but they all came back very amazed at this wonder of the world. They tried to figure out how it workd but the jury is still out on the decision...perhaps a result of the surrounding room, or the room under ground...who knows!)

That voice in your head...that's your mother.

there is something similar at UBC, actually - you stand on this thing and you sound really loud to yourself...

A room with a nail that makes you hear echos. Sounds cool.

Thanks for the updates. It is so neat to be able to read what you guys are doing and knowing how to pray for you. I hope that you are feeling much better :)

Keep safe and keep having fun =)
