I realized that I forgot to write about how we went to a Convent one day that is now a museum. So above is a picture of the front of the convent and below is a picture of the center of the convent and the top of it were dormitorios that the young women stayed in while they were at the Convent. A lot of these girls were brought to the Convent by their parents because the girls were being disobedient or were involved in a relationship that the parents did not approve of. The catch was, once these girls were put into the convent, they had to spend the remainder of their lives in the convent. They were never to see a man in the rest of their lives, even the hand of a male. They had pretty strict rules and regulations in this Convent.
A lot of the girls' time was spent in prayer. Below is a large circle in which the head nun would stand in the middle of and then pray. This circle is unique because if you stand in just the right spot, the entire circle echoes and it has a strange effect, so even if the girls did not want to pray, they heard the nun praying all day, which is when the girls would eventually give in and say their prayers so the nun would stop. Also, there are little doorways and those were also some of the rooms that the girls lived in.


The remainder of these pictures are just me trying to be "artistic" haha.
It was just amazing to see and hear what some of the things that these girls had to do to be considered following the rules. One theory that some poeple had was if the girls were especially not listening, they would tie their hands to these chains and then a drop of water would drip from the ceiling until either one of two things happened: they died from their skull breaking open or they gave in and said they would honor the rules from then on. I didn't take a picture of this spot but the other theory of this spot was a place where the girls would go to pray. Two very different theories, but either are possible and who knows the real truth especially at this time of life.

Well, that's just a little about the tour we had in this Convent and some of the history behind it. When I remember more stuff, I might update this post.

Love you and miss you all!!!
