I took these pictures when I turned off the I-5.
Here we are! 
I took these on the drive up the mountain. It was very steep and
winding. 
These are the rooms for pilgrims, dedicated to the holy martyrs
Faith, Hope, and Love. 
I ended up staying in Faith. 
This is the front entrance. 
Here are some miscellaneous pictures around the grounds. 
This is the trapeza. I wanted to take a picture of the kitchen but
didn’t since some fathers were in there. 
This is the original print shop. 
This is their bookstore. 
This is the library. 
They converted the tsar’s room into a chapel. 
They call this “Gethsemane Garden”. 
Here Fr. Seraphim’s body awaits the general resurrection. Flower
petals fall on his grave from above :) We ended up serving a panikhida
at his grave for radonitsa and we ate kulich, paska, and red eggs in the
cemetery, sharing the paschal joy with the reposed. 
And here is his cell. 
The original well dried up and this was built over top. 
And this is the new well. 
This is the catholicon. 
And these are the relics there. 
This chapel is attached to the south side of the catholicon. 
This basement chapel is accessible from within the catholicon to the
north. It’s dedicated to Saints Sergius and Herman of Valaam. 
And these are the relics there. 
This is where Fr. Seraphim held his last sermon. 
Before heading back to the interstate I poked my head in St. Xenia’s
Skete.
