We hadn't been on a day trip in a long while. Plus, going here, I can write a paper about our trip for class and get extra credit :)
Subiaco is a Benedictine Monk monastery. The Abbey is also a boarding school for boys. It's about 45 minutes from the house.
We got there, checked in, and met up with a group touring with a guide. You can also get a map and self tour.

Inside was pretty cool. The ceiling was really high and arched. Very little decorations except for the traditional purple for Easter and thorn bush.
The Abbey wraps around a nice courtyard where the school holds their graduations.
It was built in 1878, parts of it caught fire and rebuilt 1927.
The group we toured with.
In the monastic refectory (dining hall), someone in the group saw a bottle of hot sauce on the table. Monk Sauce. Sure enough they make it there and sell it in the gift shop. We bought one to take to Myrtle Beach :)
