Wouldn't I just love this...

A silent retreat center with tiny hermitage houses, deer, and elk, in Arizona.  Now THAT is my idea of a vacation.  Check out more photos and information on the Tiny House Blog, here:

Oooooh yes.  I used to go on silent retreats when there was a retreat center in the next town...it was glorious.
