lation are what you seek, you simply must visit the Monastery of the Holy Spirit. The newly air-conditioned Abbey Church is a modern architectural masterpiece and the Monastic Heritage Center and Museum and shopping at the Abbey Store on the Monastery grounds are not to be missed.

Yogurt Mountain frozen yogurt bar and Brown Sugar Desserts cookies and cake-by-the-slice will make you think twice about a bikini body because they’re so good (and totally worth the calories!).
