When our daughter was a dancer, and still too young to be on her own in the big city, she and other dancers stayed at a Carmelite Mission with nuns (and had a curfew) and I didn't worry about her one iota! I always appreciated them opening up their Mission to the dancers to stay while they were for their summer program at Joffrey.A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-81717503664981980492013-06-19T09:05:06.913-05:002013-06-19T09:05:06.913-05:00Those rugs are wonderful and the monk really looks...Those rugs are wonderful and the monk really looks like he's enjoying himself.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09708378719636591685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28981938.post-9856550441627126582013-06-19T00:01:55.129-05:002013-06-19T00:01:55.129-05:00Beautiful rugs.
