Literally right across the street from where I live is a garden and an old abbaye. From what I can gather the garden has been there for a long time , founded by Cisterian monks in the 13th century, and was originally surrounded by forests instead of the homes and apartment buildings that now surround it. It is a quiet escape from the busy city that surround it and it seems to almost have a peace left over from when the monks spent their time their in devoti
on and diligence. There is an art school in it's buildings now, and one buiding houses the Belgian branch of National Geographic. I still have not had a chance to go into the church itself as it has weird hours and I always seem to arrive at the wrong time for entrace. Hopefully I am able to do this before I leave. I have spent a lot of time though wandering around its gardens though, by myself and with Clarence playing ball and running up and down all the stairs. It also has a fish pond and if the weather is nice after his school we go and look at the fish and sit in the sun.
