MONASTERE DE CHEVETOGNE, Ardennes Belgium

I am glad I made the big detour to this Benedictine monastery consecrated as recently as 1957. The entire inside was painted over 7 years by Greek artists (all the script is in Greek). The nave is Old Testament with saints under bible stories and the altar area is New Testament.
Unfortunately, the altar portion was full of scaffolding as the paintings were being cleaned. I talked to a South African monk who told me some of the story. I listened in for an hour to a conference given by a Hindu. The audience was assiduously taking notes on this man’s view of Hinduism and Christianity. I would have loved to ask questions.

I would like to think of myself as a full time traveler. I have been retired since 2006 and in that time have traveled every winter for four to seven months. The months that I am "home", are often also spent on the road, hiking or kayaking. I hope to present a website that describes my travel along with my hiking and sea kayaking experiences.
