Holy Cross Monastery is on the upper Hudson river a bit north of Poughkeepsie, NY. I arrived around 3:30 and unloaded and unpacked a bit. My room this time is "St. Thomas" (they don't have room numbers... all the rooms are named for saints), which is on the 3rd floor overlooking the river.
The rooms are sparce - basically a bed, dresser, small desk, and of course a cross. The monastery guest house is "heated but not air conditioned", so with the temperature at 80 with very high humidity, it's a bit close, but the weather is expected to break later today or tomorrow and then it will get quite pleasant.
I had just enough time to do a couple of blog entries, take a brief nap and then head to Vespers at 5:00.
