I have always wondered... it must take a very special mindset to decide to join a nunnery and in essence to close the door on the world...

Beautiful gate btw... and I love the "gazebo" (which I'm almost sure it isn't) :o)

I guess it is really a kind of gazebo, but with a stone chalice and a cross inside, they are well seen on the original version.

I saw a very old nun there, she is so old so that she can't walk by herself. I tried to imagine how it is to spend the whole life in selfless service, but for me it's also very difficult to understand...
