Thank you for your post! We were successful in getting treats from the nuns. We had to refer to this post to remember that we had to push the button at the gate and what to ask for in Spanish

Hi Janie! I didn’t know you were reading!! Too fun.

I’m glad to hear you loved Seville! We really have completely fallen in love with it – the people, the beautiful churches, the food… If I could, I think I’d spend every February or March here enjoying the warm winter.

I hope you and your family are well! I get tidbits every now and then from Rykki’s Facebook page. Take Care!

Ha – Lindy! What a fun story. I didn’t realize that there were nuns living anywhere in Kansas! I bet if you were here you could talk your way into a convent just to have a look around – the nuns have surprised me with their warmth and humor, even through our language barrier.

I noticed in the picture that they also sell rosary beads and other trinket type things… Wonder if they make those too? What cute little boxes!

Oh Mel! I Love this story! I have always been fascinated by nuns and convents! When I was very young, we used to spend summers in Emporia where my Dad was working on his Masters Degree. We lived across the street from a tennis court where some Nuns from St Mary’s Hospital used to come and play “handball tennis”. We used to play with them, and they were always so nice and it was so fun to watch them run around the court in their full length habits. I wanted to be a nun for a long time after that, and wanted to sneak into a convent just to see what it was like…..this is coming from the mind of a 4 year old Methodist girl
